PREFACE. 



The steadily increasing demand for this work has exhausted 
three large editions and necessitated the preparation of a fourth 
edition. What was intended originally as a mere suggestive 
guide to the use of a set of valuable remedies has developed by 
the demands of the profession into a volume comprising the whole 
of our present therapeutic knowledge of the so-called Twelve 
Tissue Remedies. 

Compilation largely from every available source has to supple- 
ment the authors' personal experience and knowledge of these 
remedies. All the published data have been made use of but 
thoroughly sifted and critically examined. Thus presented, we 
believe this fourth edition will be found a reliable guide to the 
use of the Tissue Remedies in disease, not only as far as possible, 
according to the distinctive theory of Schiissler, as corrected and 
modified by him up to the time of his death, but especially ac- 
cording to the finer and more discriminating method of Hahne- 
mann. Seven German editions of Schiissler's " Abgekiirzte 
Therapie" have been published since the last edition of this 
work was issued, the therapeutic development of these remedies 
has made wonderful strides, and our periodical literature during 
the past few years has contained many records of cures wrought 
by them. All this has been incorporated and this work, in its 
present complete and revised form, is the only adequate presenta- 
tion of the therapeutic possibilities of the Tissue Remedies in our 
school. 

We trust that the same consideration accorded to previous edi- 
tions will be extended to this by an indulgent profession.

Preface to First Edition. 



The following treatise on the Twelve Tissue Remedies con- 
tains all that Schiissler himself wrote on the subject, and em- 
bodies as well the whole published experience of the homoeo- 
pathic school in their use, besides much original matter from 
some of our homoeopathic practitioners now published for the 
first time. Our aim has been to give to the profession a complete 
work on the subject, because we recognize the great value and 
importance of the Tissue Remedies, and in doing this our work 
necessarily was one mostly of compilation and arrangement. 
Every available source from the whole of our journalistic litera- 
ture and Society proceedings has been made to pay tribute to us; 
and however imperfect, fragmentary and crude the present work 
is, we know that it is complete, so far as present circumstances 
will permit. 

We believe that the only hope for the future development of 
these magnificent remedies lies in their study, mainly according to 
the method of Homoeopathy; that they should all be as carefully 
proved as Natrum mur. and Silicea already are, and that the 
results of such provings alone will furnish the most accurate in- 
dications for their therapeutic uses. Only by careful provings 
will the permanency of these remedies be secured, and they them- 
selves be preserved from the possible fate of so many newly intro- 
duced remedies. 

Thorough and systematic proving of drugs on the healthy is the 
one true method for the development of our Materia Medica: but 
this, from its very excellence, is a thing of slow growth, and the 
temptation could not be resisted to seek other and shorter methods, 
always more or less questionable, but sometimes yielding ad- 
mirable results. The most important of such deviations from the 
strictly classical method of proving on the healthy was the ac- 
ceptance of Clinical Symptoms; used cautiously, this source can 
be of inestimable value, as much of our clinical experience proves. 

Why may not the same results follow, by accepting tentatively, 



6 PREFACE. 

and for the time, Schiissler's theories of the respective spheres of 
actions of his remedies and the indications based thereon, which, 
to say the least, are bold and often brilliant recommendations for 
their employment in disease ? 

Here, in the absence of regular provings of them, we can avail 
ourselves of this source and enrich our Materia Medica with some 
remedies that will compare favorably with many polychrests. 

Whatever opposition there may be in our ranks to Schiissler's 
methods, because it is not pure homoeopathic practice, we believe 
would speedily disappear if all critics could join in proving and 
confirming these valuable remedies, introduced first to American 
Homoeopathy by our own Hering, who surely could not be ac- 
cused of fathering and furthering anything absolutely mongrel 
and detrimental to the best interests of our school. 

We do not sympathize with the attempt of Schiissler and a few 
others to look upon the Tissue Remedies as being sufficient for all 
purposes — provings alone can verify this. For the present, we 
think, with Dr. J. C. Morgan, that Schiissler throws away a great 
and necessary complement to his Materia Medica in discarding all 
organic drugs, as Bellad., Hyos., Aeon., etc , which really make 
the Tissue Remedies more valuable, acting as the opposite blade 
of the scissors; without these they would often remain incom- 
plete in curative action and might be blamed for the inevitable. 
We, therefore, have included in our study of the Materia Medica 
the homoeopathic relationship, at present merely suggestive, but 
a department which, we hope, will be greatly enlarged at some 
future time. 

To those who, by kind encouragement and contributions of 
clinical cases and observations, have given us valuable assistance 
in the preparation of the present volume, we desire to express 
our gratitude and indebtedness, prominent among whom are Prof. 
Samuel Lilienthal, who kindly placed his valuable library at 
our disposal; Professors J. C. Morgan, S. Powell Burdick, C. B. 
Currier, Henry C. Houghton, Wm. E. Leonard, and Drs. Horace 
F. Ivins, C. E. Fisher, A. P. Davis, I. E. Nicholson, G. H. 
Martin, and many others whose names are mentioned throughout 
the work.

Preface to the Second Edition. 



The; present edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged 
by the addition of all the facts relating to the Tissue Remedies 
that have accumulated for the past two years. In its present 
state, the book represents the complete presentation of the Bio- 
chemical Treatment of Disease by means of the Twelve Tissue 
Remedies. In order not to increase unnecessarily the bulk of the 
volume, a number of the clinical cases of the previous edition 
have been omitted, to make room for new matter and fresh clinical 
illustrations by the best authorities. The Materia Medica part of 
the work has been brought up to date by the incorporation of the 
results of late provings, and we feel indebted especially to Dr. H. 
C. Allen, of the Medical Advance, Hering's Guiding Symptoms, 
and Prof. T. F. Allen's magnificent work, the Handbook of 
Materia Medica, which include much of interest about these 
remedies. These Tissue Remedies are too precious to be used 
only on the pathological indications laid down by Schiissler: they 
all merit careful proving in order to obtain the finer and more 
distinctive points for their therapeutic application; this has been 
done with several, and will undoubtedly be carefully done with 
all. Not until then will the Twelve Tissue Remedies take their 
rightful position permanently in our Materia Medica, and prove 
to be polychrests of the highest order. 

We trust that this work, in its present revised form, will meet 

with as favorable reception as was accorded to the first edition.

Introduction to the Theory and General Sketch 
of the Twelve Tissue Remedies. 



HISTORY OF THE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Samuel Hahnemann, whose genius divined the great im- 
portance of the inorganic cell salts as remedial agents of a 
high order, was the first who began thorough investigation 
into their pathogenetic effects and therapeutic uses. It was 
his provings of Lime and Salt and Potash that prepared the 
way for the rest of the Tissue Remedies, that showed what 
vast store-houses of medicinal force these inorganic sub- 
stances are, although wholly inert in their crude state. He 
it was who first pointed out how these forces could be un- 
locked and directed for therapeutic purposes. Later, in 1832, 
attention was called in a paper published in Stapf's Archiv 
to the great importance as remedies of all the " essential com- 
ponent parts of the human body," and again, in the same 
journal, in 1846 : "All constituents of the human body prin- 
cipally act on those organs wherein they have a function. 
All fulfill their functions when they are the cause of symp- 
toms." This from the pen of that remarkable genius in the 
field of Materia Medica — Constantine Hering. 

Later still, we find Grauvogl, in his Text-Book, taking some 
notice of these remarks and amplifying them ; but it remained 
for Dr. Schiissler, of Oldenburg, Germany, to develop these 
suggestions and make the idea foreshadowed in them the basis 

00 

of a "new system." In March, 1873, an article, entitled U A 
Shortened Homoeopathic Therapeutics" from his pen, was pub- 
lished in a German Homoeopathic journal, in which he says : 



14 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

"About a year ago I endeavored to discover by experiments on 
the sick if it were not possible to heal them, provided their 
diseases were curable at all, with those substances that are the 
natural, i. e., the physiological function-remedies." Of this 
no special notice seems to have been taken, until, five months 
subsequently, Dr. Lorbacher, of Leipzig, came out in the same 
journal with some critical considerations of it. This was fol- 
lowed by a reply from Schussler, which ran through seven 
numbers, giving a more detailed account of this "Abridged 
System of Homoeopathic Therapeutics," the important features 
of which are incorporated in this work. 

The original communication from Schussler to the German 
journal was translated into English, and published first in the 
Medical Investigator, May, 1873, and soon afterwards in a 
small work, by Dr. C. Hering, entitled the " Twelve Tissue 
Remedies," "recommended for investigation " by this great 
teacher of our school. Several editions were published in 
rapid succession, from which this historical sketch is mainly 
derived, and following these appeared the translation of the 
twelfth German edition, by J. T. O'Connor, M. D., and one 
by M. Docetti Walker, considerably enlarged by the addition 
of an appendix popularizing the Biochemic Method. Dr. 
Schussler, previous to his death, which occurred early in 
1898, published the 25th German edition, in which the appli- 
cation of several of the remedies has been greatly enlarged 
and considerable new matter added, all of which is incor- 
porated in this work. This edition has just been translated 
into English. 

Notwithstanding that Dr. Schussler denies in the later edi- 
tions of his work all connection with Homoeopathy, and in- 
sists that his method is not based upon the homoeopathic law 
of cure, but upon physiologico-chemical processes that take 
place within the organism, it is nevertheless true that the 
present wide adoption of the Tissue Remedies in the treat- 
ment of disease is the fruit of the seed sown on homcepathic 
ground as early as 1832, although its development was slow 
until Schussler gave it a wonderful impetus by bringing 



THE THEORY OF SCHUSSEER'S METHOD. 1 5 

physiological chemistry and physiological and pathological 
facts to bear on his therapeutic procedure. 

THE THEORY OF SCHUSSLER'S BIOCHEMIC 
METHOD. 

The idea upon which Biochemic Therapeutics is based is 
the physiological fact that both the structure and vitality of 
the organs of the body are dependent upon certain necessary 
quantities and proper apportionment of its inorganic constitu- 
ents. These remain after combustion of the tissues and form 
the ashes. 

These inorganic constituents are, in a very real sense, the 
material basis of the organs and tissues of the body, and are 
absolutely essential to their integrity of structure and func- 
tional activity. According to Schussler's theory, any disturb- 
ance in the molecular motion of these cell salts in living 
tissues, caused by a deficiency in the requisite amount, con- 
stitutes disease, which can be rectified and the requisite equili- 
brium re-established by administering the same mineral salts 
in small quantities. This is supposed to be brought about by 
virtue of the operation of chemical affinity in the domain of 
histology ; and hence this therapeutic procedure is styled by 
Schiissler the Biochemic method, and stress is laid on the 
fact that it is in supposed harmony with well-known facts and 
laws in physiological chemistry and allied sciences. 

THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE HUMAN ORGANISM. 

Blood consists of water, sugar, fat, albuminous substances, 
chloride of sodium, chloride of potash, fluoride of lime, silica, 
iron, lime, magnesia, soda and potash. The latter are com- 
bined with phosphoric, carbonic and sulphuric acids. 

The salts of soda predominate in the blood plasma, while 
those of potash are found especially in the blood corpuscles. 
Sugar, fat, and the albuminous substances are the so-called 
organic components of the blood, while the above-named salts 



1 6 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

and water constitute its inorganic components. Sugar and 
fat are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, while the 
albuminous substances contain in addition sulphur and nitro- 
gen. 

Sulphur, carbon and phosphorus are not present within the 
organism in a free state, but combined with organic sub- 
stances. 

Sulphur and carbon are found in the albumen, carbon ii. 
the carbo-hydrates like sugar, starch and in the products in- 
cident to metamorphosis of organic substances. Phosphorus 
is contained in the lecithins and in the nucleins. The sulphur 
of the albumen is oxidized by the oxygen of the inspired air, 
forming sulphuric acid which combines with the bases of the 
carbonates, forming sulphates and setting free carbonic acid. 

TISSUE-BUILDING. 

Blood, containing the material for every tissue and cell of 
the body, furnishes nutriment for every organ, enabling it to 
perform its individual function ; thus it supplies every possible 
physiological want in the animal economy. 

It does this by the transudation of a portion of its plasma 
into the surrounding tissues through the capillary walls, by 
which the losses sustained by the cells on account of tissue 
metamorphosis are made good. According to modern biologi- 
cal views, this pabulum is a material sui generis, called irritable 
matter or protoplasm, and is the only living matter, and is 
universally diffused throughout the organism, of which it con- 
stitutes about one-fifth, the remaining four-fifths being organ- 
ized and relatively, therefore, dead matter. In its physical 
character it is nitrogenous, pulpy, structureless, semi-fluid, 
translucent, homogeneous, similar to that of the ganglionic 
nerves and to the gray, nervous matter. In this transuded 
fluid appear fine granules, which unite to form germs, from 
which, again, cells develop. By the union of these cells are 
formed the tissue of every kind needed for the upbuilding of 
the whole organism. Two kinds of substances are needed in 



FORMATION OF TISSUE CELLS. 1 7 

this process of tissue-building, and both are found in the 
blood — namely, the organic and the inorganic constituents. 
Among the former organic constituents are the sugar, fat and 
albuminous substances of the blood, serving as the physical 
basis of the tissues, while the water and salts — namely, pot- 
ash, lime, silica, iron, magnesium and sodium — are the inor- 
ganic substances, which are believed to determine the par- 
ticular kind of cell to be built up. Other salts may from time 
to time be found, but the foregoing, however, embrace all 
which are constantly present. Wherever, then, in the animal 
organism, new cells are to be generated and formed, there 
must be present, in sufficient quantity and proper relation, 
both these organic and inorganic substances. By their 
presence in the blood, all the organs, viscera and tissues in the 
body are formed, fixed and made permanent in their func- 
tions, and a disturbance here causes disturbed function. 

INORGANIC CONSTITUENTS OF CELLS. 

The inorganic materials of nerve-cells are Magnes. phos., 
Kali phos., Natrum and Ferrum. Muscle-cells contain the 
same, with the addition of Kali mur. Connective tissue-cells 
have for their specific substance Silicea, while that of the 
elastic tissue-cells is probably Calc. fluor. In bone-cells we 
have Calc. fluor. and Magnes. phos. and a large proportion of 
Calc. phos. This latter is found iu small quantities in the 
cells of muscle, nerve, brain and connective tissue. Cartilage and 
mucous cells have for their specific inorganic material Natr. 
mur., which is found also in all solid and fluid parts of the 
body. Hair and the crystalline lens contain, among other inor- 
ganic substances, also Ferrum. The carbonates, as such, are, 
according to Moleschott, without any influence in the process 
of cell-formation. 

FORMATION OF TISSUE CELLS. 

The oxygen of the air, upon reaching the tissues through 
the blood by means of the respiration, acts upon the organic 
substances which are to enter in the formation of new cells. 
2 



1 8 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

The products of this transformation are the organic materials 
which form the physical basis of muscle, nerve, connective 
tissue and mucous substance. None of these substances are 
present as such in the blood, but are formed within the tissues 
from the albumen. With them, the inorganic salts form com- 
binations by virtue of chemical affinities, and thus new cells 
are formed. With the formation of new cells there occurs at 
the same time a destruction of the old ones, resulting from 
the action of oxygen on the organic substances forming the 
basis of these cells. This oxidation has, as a consequence, a 
breaking down of the cells themselves. 

The ultimate results of this combustion of the organic sub- 
stances are the formation of urea, uric, sulphuric, phosphoric, 
lactic and carbonic acids, and also water. Some intermediate 
members of the series, as, for instance, hypoxanthin, acetic and 
butyric acids, etc., need not be mentioned with this therapeu- 
tic method, because, so far as our present knowledge of them 
extends, they play a very subordinate role. Urea, uric acid 
and sulphuric acid are the result of the oxidation of the al- 
buminous substances, while phosphoric acid is produced by 
the oxidation of lecithin contained in the nervous tissue, 
brain, spinal cord and blood corpuscles. L,actic acid results 
from the fermentation of milk-sugar, and finally breaks down 
into carbonic acid and water. 

The final products of the oxidation of the organic sub- 
stances are urea, carbonic acid and water. These, together 
with the salts set free, leave the tissues, and thereby give 
place to less fully oxidized organic bodies, which in turn 
finally undergo the same metamorphosis. 

The products of this retrograde tissue change are conveyed 
through the lymphatics, the connective tissue and the veins, 
to the gall-bladder, lungs, kidneys, bladder and skin, and are 
thereby removed from the organism with the excretions, such 
as the urine, perspiration, faeces, etc. 

The importance and dignity of the function of the connec- 
tive tissues were established after the researches of Virchow 
and Von Recklinghausen led to a closer study and demon-

strated its fertile activity. That which formerly seemed only 
intended as a filling in or protective covering appears now as 
the matrix, in which the minute capillaries carry the plasma 
from the blood to the tissues and return the same to the blood 
vessels ; at the same time it serves as one of the most import- 
ant breeding places of young cells, which are capable of de- 
veloping out of the embryonic latent forms to the most differ- 
entiated structure of the body. 

HEALTH AND DISEASE. 

Health may be considered to be the state characterized by 
normal cell metamorphosis ; thus, when by means of digestion 
of food and drink, recompense is made to the blood for the 
losses it sustains by furnishing nutritive material to the tis- 
sues, this compensation is made in requisite quantities and in 
proper places, and no disturbance of the motion of the mole- 
cules occurs. Under these conditions alone will the building 
of new cells and the destruction of old ones proceed normally, 
and the elimination of useless materials be furthered. 

Disease is the result of a disturbance of the molecular mo- 
tion of one of the inorganic tissue salts. The cure consists in 
the restoration of the equilibrium of the molecular motion by 
furnishing a minimal dose of the same inorganic substance, 
since the molecules of the material thus used remedially fill 
the gap in the chain of molecules of the affected cell or tissue 
salt. 

Virchow says that disease is an altered state of the cell, and 
hence the normal state of the cell constitutes health. The 
constitution of the cell is determined by the composition of 
its nutritive environment exactly as a plant thrives according 
to the quality of soil around its roots. 

In agricultural chemistry we add as fertilizer that element 
most lacking in the soil. But three essential substances used 
as fertilizers are required, namely, ammonia, phosphate of 
lime or potash. The other substances needful for plant nu- 
trition are found in sufficient quantities in the soil. The 



20 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

same law of supplying a lack applies to biochemical remedies ; 
for instance, take the following example : 

A child suffering with rickets shows a lack of phosphate of 
lime in the bones due to a disturbed molecular motion of the 
molecules of this salt. The quantity of phosphate of lime 
intended for the bones, but failing to reach its goal, would 
accumulate within the blood were it not excreted by the 
urine, for it is the office of the kidneys to maintain the proper 
composition of the blood, and therefore to cast out every 
foreign substance or surplus supply of any one constituent. 
Now after the normal molecular motion of the phosphate of 
lime molecules is again established within the involved nu- 
tritive soil by administering small doses of the same salt, the 
surplus can again enter the general circulation and the cure 
of the rachitis be brought about. 

Every normal cell has the faculty of absorbing or rejecting 
certain substances. This property is diminished or suspended 
when the cell has suffered a loss in one of its salts in conse- 
quence of any irritation. As soon as this deficiency is made 
good by a supply of a homogeneous material from the im- 
mediate nutritive soil, the equilibrium is re-established. But 
if the supply is not offered spontaneously, it is to be assumed 
that the needful salt is lacking in quantity, or, on the other 
hand, that the diseased cells have suffered a physical altera- 
tion besides, which precludes the entrance of the required 
tissue salt. In such a case the salt must be offered in a more 
diluted state, that is, a higher trituration. 

If the altered cells regain their integrity by recovering 
their loss, they can again perform their normal functions, and 
bring about the removal by chemical processes of morbid pro- 
ducts, exudations, etc. The biochemical therapeutics aids 
nature in her efforts to cure by supplying the natural reme- 
dies lacking in certain parts, that is, the inorganic cell-salts, 
and in this way corrects abnormal states of physiological 
chemistry. 

The aim of biochemistry is to cover a deficiency directly. 
All other methods of cure reach this goal indirectly, when 



DOSE OR QUANTITY. 21 

they make use of remedial agents heterogeneous to the con- 
stituents of the human organism. 



DOSE, OR QUANTITY OF TISSUE SALT REQUIRED 

TO RE-ESTABLISH NORMAL CELL 

EQUILIBRIUM. 

Biochemic remedies are administered in minimal doses. 

The curative virtue of small doses may be deducted from 
the following facts : 

Throughout nature, atoms and groups of atoms or molecules 
form the basis of her operations. The growth of animals and 
plants is the accretion of new atoms or groups of atoms to 
the existing mass of molecules. 

In view of the fact of the action of light, itself imponder- 
able, causing molecular movements in living plants by which 
carbonic acid is decomposed into carbon and oxygen, and 
again the action of light on the photographic plate and retina 
of the eye, it seems impossible of contradiction that infinitely 
small imponderable particles of matter can act upon the liv- 
ing body. The use of small doses in biochemical treatment 
is a chemico-physiological necessity. For instance, it is de- 
sired to have Glauber's salt reach the blood. It cannot be done 
by giving it in a concentrated solution. Only the intestinal 
canal is affected thereby, producing a watery diarrhoea in 
which the salt is cast out from the organism. But a diluted 
solution of this salt (Natrum sulph.) will enter the blood and 
intercellular fluids from the mouth and oesophagus ; and by 
virtue of its hygrometric property will induce passage of an 
excess of water in the tissues into the venous blood, and an 
increase of urinary secretion. 

Every biochemic remedy must be sufficiently diluted to 
avoid destroying the function of healthy cells, and to restore 
disturbed function wherever present. 

In the healthy organism, animal or vegetable, the salts are 
found in solution, corresponding to the third, fourth and fifth 
decimal dilution of medicines. 



22 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

The following table of analysis of blood cells in relation to 
the human organism will show this : 

In 1,000 grammes of blood cells the amount of inorganic 
substances are, according to Bunge's " Text-book of Physio- 
logical and Pathological Chemistry," as follows : 

Iron 0.99S 

Kali sulph 0.132 

Kali mur 3.079 

Kali phos 2.343 

Natrum phos 0.633 

Natrum 0.3.44 

Calc. phos 0.094 

Magnes. phos 0.060 

In 1,000 grammes of intercellular fluid (plasma) the pro- 
portion of inorganic substances is the following : 

Kali sulph 0.281 

Kali mur 0.359 

Natrum mur 5-545 

Natrum phos 0.27! 

Natrum 1-532 

Calcar. phos 0.29S 

Magnes. phos 0.218 

Natrum sulph., Fluor., and Silica, traces. 

Compare with these analyses that of milk. Of this i litre 
or 1,000 grammes, contains 

Kali .\ . 0.780 

Natrum 0.230 

Calcarea 0.330 

Magnesia 0.060 

Iron 0.004 

Phosphoric acid 0.470 

Chlor 0.440 

Fluor., and Silica, traces. 

One litre (a little over a quart) suffices for the daily food of 
an infant weighing about 6 kilogrammes (13^ pounds). 

Now if 6 centigrammes (3.5 of a grain) of magnesia are 
sufficient to cover the needful daily supply of magnesia for 
an infant, how minute must be the dose of magnesia to be given 
for a neuralgia which is caused by an inconceivably small 
deficiency of this salt in a minute portion of the nerve tissue. 



DOSE OR QUANTITY. 23 

The mineral contents of one cell are infinitely small. Ac- 
cording to the calculations of C. Schmidt, the physiologist, 
each blood corpuscle contains about one-billionth part of a 
gramme of Kali mur. This corresponds to the twelfth deci- 
mal trituration. 

Similarly active in very small doses are some of the reme- 
dies used by the old school ; for instance, corrosive sublimate, 
of which Prof. Hugo Schulz says that a solution of 1-600,000 
to 1-800,000 brings about quite powerful fermentation, one 
far above the normal, in a grape sugar solution to which yeast 
has been added. (See Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift, Nov. 
4, 1889.) 

The inorganic substances which serve plants for nutrition 
are taken up by them only in minimal quantities. Liebig, in 
his chemical letters, observes that the strongest manure of 
earthy phosphates in a coarse powder cannot be compared in 
its action with a much smaller quantity finely divided, which 
by its sub-division can be diffused throughout the soil. Each 
rootlet requires but a small quantity of nourishment where it 
is in contact with the soil, but for its functional activity and 
existence it is requisite that this minimum be present just at 
that spot. The insoluble mineral substances found in the 
soil must be dissolved by the acid juices of the fibres of the 
root before they can reach the vegetable organism. 

A mineral, when it reaches the human stomach, is acted 
upon by the muriatic acid contained in the gastric juice. If 
this is a salt of iron, the chloride will be formed. Now if it 
is desirable to administer the phosphate of iron for thera- 
peutic purposes, it must be kept out of the stomach. For this 
purpose a minimal dose is required — the medicine must be 
diluted to such a degree that its molecules may penetrate the 
epithelium of the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus and reach the 
blood through the capillary walls. Those substances that are 
insoluble in water must be triturated to the sixth decimal 
potency at least ; those soluble in water may penetrate the 
epithelial cells in lower dilutions. 

In some of the mineral waters, the mineral salts are present 



24 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

only in quantities corresponding to the 6th and 8th decimal 
dilutions ; thus in the waters of Rilchingen Magnesia phosph. 
is present only in the 8th, Kali mur. in the 5th and Silicea in 
the 6th dilution. 

Dr. Behneke, in his balneological letters, correctly observes 
that the relative proportion and the degree of concentration in 
which the salt is present in the mineral water is of great im- 
portance. Many of the most famous springs owe their good 
results to the fact that the curative constituents are present 
only in greatly diluted states, and that the best results are fre- 
quently obtained from doses usually considered very minute. 

The adaptability of minimal doses to the end in view is in 
entire harmony with physiological and chemical facts, as may 
be seen from the following words of Professor Valentin, the 
well-known physiologist : 

" Nature works everywhere with an infinite number of 
small magnitudes, which, whether in homogeneous or hetero- 
geneous aggregations, can only be perceived by our relatively 
obtuse organs of sense when in definite masses. The smallest 
picture which our eyes perceive proceeds from millions of 
waves of light ; a granule of salt that we are hardly able to 
taste contains myriads of groups of atoms which no sentient 
eye will ever view." 

This fact is also illustrated by the well-known experiments 
of Professors Kirchoff and Bunsen with common salt by tak- 
ing three milligrammes (less than ^ of a grain), which are 
blown into a room containing 60 cubic metres of air. In a 
few minutes sodium lines appear in a flame standing at a con- 
siderable distance, which can be distinguished by the unaided 
eye. 

Modern science gives numerous illustrations of the power 
of infinitesimal quantities. We will refer only to very few : 
one is by that most excellent observer, Darwin. In his work 
on Insectivorous Plants he says : " It is an astonishing fact 
* * * * that so inconceivably minute a quantity as 1—20,- 
000,000 of a grain " [a much smaller quantity than the 6th 
decimal trituration, the usual prescribed strength of the Tissue 



DOSE OR QUANTITY. 25 

Remedies] " of ammonia phosphate should induce changes in 
a gland, sufficient to cause a motor impulse to be sent down 
the whole length of the tentacle, this impulse exciting move- 
ments through an angle of about 180 ." 

Now, although the presence of common salt can be per- 
ceived by the nerves of taste, even if the crude salt touch the 
peripheral ends of these nerves, still in such a crude and un- 
diluted form it is questionable whether the salt can enter and 
be taken up by the ducts of the neurilemma. For this pur- 
pose it seems much more reasonable to suppose that the de- 
gree of attenuation attained by the triturations is more appro- 
priate to meet the want of the required molecules of salts. 

Atropin, even when diluted more than a million-fold, pro- 
duces, according to Reuter, dilatation of the pupil in man and 
the lower warm-blooded animals. 

A litre (a little more than a quart) of milk contains about 
four milligrammes of iron, and a child nourished upon 
milk only receives therewith less than one milligramme 
or g 1 . of a grain of iron at a dose. If four milligrammes repre- 
sent the daily supply of iron contributed to the nourishment 
and growth of the child (for it is distributed to all the iron- 
bearing cells of the organism), how small should be the dose, 
therapeutically considered, of a salt of iron given to allay a 
molecular disturbance occurring in a small cell territory, such 
a disturbance, for instance, as determines the hyperemia of 
irritation ? 

The amount of fluorine contained in milk has, as yet, not 
been quantitatively determined ; the amount of it in the organ- 
ism is much less than that of iron. It may be assumed that 
the amount of fluorine contained in milk is represented by a 
tenth of a milligramme ; therefore, one milligramme of calcium 
fluoride, pro dost, if prescribed as a remedy, would be a large 
dose. 

The dose of a remedy prescribed according to chemical thera- 
peutics had better be too small than too large ; for if too 
small a repetition of it will attain the desired end, but if too 
large it will fail to accomplish the purpose in view. 



26 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Large doses of iron, given to cure chlorosis, disorder the 
stomach, pass off unused with the faeces, and in most cases 
leave the disease unaffected. 

Hydrochloric acid, when diluted a thousand-fold with water, 
dissolves with ease at the temperature of the body fibrin and 
gluten, and this solvent power does not increase, but dimin- 
ishes, if the proportion of acid in the dilution be increased. — 
Liebig's Chemical Letters, vol. ii, p. 119. 

PREPARATION AND DOSE. 

The Tissue Remedies are prepared for therapeutic purposes, 
like all homoeopathic remedies, according to the decimal or 
centesimal scale in trituration or solution. The crude, chemi- 
cally pure article is taken and triturated with sugar of milk, 
one part of the drug to nine parts of sugar of milk, for at least 
one hour. This gives the first decimal trituration, each grain 
containing one-tenth of a grain of the cell salt triturated. 

One part of this first decimal trituration is then used, and 
other nine parts of sugar of milk added and again triturated 
one hour, which gives the second decimal trituration, and is 
equivalent to the first centesimal trituration, each grain con- 
taining one-hundredth of the triturated cell salt. But expe- 
rience has shown, as may be seen, too, from the illustrations 
above that even this minute subdivision is too gross for many 
purposes in the animal economy, and so this triturating and 
subdividing process has been kept up to the sixth, twelfth 
and even higher preparations. 

SCHUSSLER'S OWN PROCEDURE. 

At first Schussler began with the sixth centesimal or twelfth 
decimal trituration ; but he, very early in his practice, adopted 
the sixth decimal preparation as the one most generally use- 
ful. Lately the lower triturations of Potassium and Sodium 
salts, the third decimal, of others the fourth and fifth, have 
been productive of equally good results. In the last edition 
of his " Abgekilrzte Therapie " he says on this point : "In 



FREQUENCY OF DOSES. 27 

my practice I employ the sixth decimal trituration generally. 
Ferrum phos., Silicea and Calcarea finor. I usually give in 
the 1 2th trituration. In acute diseases, a dose consisting of 
a powder, size of a pea, should be given every hour or two ; 
in chronic diseases 3 or 4 times daily. The powder may be 
given dry on the tongue, or dissolved in a spoonful of water." 

We, ourselves, have had the most satisfactory results from 
the sixth decimal trituration, rarely going higher, at times 
lower, and generally we prefer to give the selected remedy in 
solution by dissolving a good-sized powder in a tumbler, half 
full of water, and administering teaspoonful doses every hour 
or two. 

If liquid solutions are used, a few drops may be dissolved 
in water, or pellets or disks may be saturated and given in 
that way. The latter is especially to be recommended with 
children. 

FREQUENCY OF DOSES. 

In acute cases, a dose every hour or two ; in severe, painful 
affections, a dose every ten to fifteen minutes ; in chronic affec- 
tions, one to four doses daily. 

In suitable cases the external use of the remedies is indi- 
cated and has been found useful. For this purpose the second 
or third and even the sixth trituration may be used. 

In determining the dose of a biochemic remedy, the amount 
of the morbid product involved is no important factor. For 
instance, a very small deficiency of Natrum mur. in the cells 
of the epithelial layer of a serous sac may give rise to a massive 
serous exudation ; and as minute a supply of Natrum mur. 
corresponding to the deficiency may bring about a complete 
resorption of the exudation. 

Guided by the relative quantities of the cell salts, each 
practitioner can select the proper dose of the indicated bio- 
chemic remedy. 

One milligramme (1-100 grain = to the 2d decimal tritura- 
tion) of a substance is estimated to contain 16 trillions of 



28 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

molecules. According to this estimate, the 6th decimal tritura- 
tion of it would contain about 16 billions ; this quantity is 
more than sufficient to restore disturbed molecular motions to 
the normal. 

It may be urged as an objection that the molecules of a 
given salt administered as a medicine would unite with their 
like contained in the blood, and thus render illusory any cura- 
tive attempt. But this combination cannot take place simply 
because the carbonic acid present in the blood forms an isolat- 
ing medium of the salts. 

RELATIONS OF THE BIOCHEMIC TO THE HOMCE- 
OPATHIC TREATMENT. 

Often the question has been asked, " Is Schusslerism Homoe- 
opathy ?" and it has as often been answered in the affirmative as 
in the negative. Schiissler himself claims that it is not in 
any way related to Homoeopathy, and puts Biochemistry for- 
ward with an evident desire to become the founder of a new 
system of medicine. 

He claims with others that the Tissue Remedies act by sup- 
plying deficiencies. This idea, taken literally, seems errone- 
ous ; for example, in a disturbance of the molecules of Natr. 
mur. there is not necessarily a deficiency in the amount of 
Natr. mur. in the body, but rather a lack of continuity in the 
arrangement of the existing molecules in the body. This salt 
given as a remedy does not supply a lack or deficiency of salt, 
as the quantity given is usually too infinitesimal for that pur- 
pose, and were this the case it might be given in quantity 
with food and drink with the desired effect. The deficiency 
that it does supply in minimal doses is in the arrangement of 
the equilibrium of the chain of Natr. mur. molecules in the 
affected tissues as before explained, thus causing them to per- 
form their function properly ; for, since the deficit is a molecu- 
lar one, the supply must also be molecular. 

This idea of the action of remedies is not new, as any one 
who has carefully perused the works of that astute observer, 



BIOCHEMIC TREATMENT. 



29 



Von Grauvogl, can testify. Many of Schiissler's ideas may 
be seen foreshadowed in Grauyogl and Hering. 

It has always been a matter of dispute as to how our 
homoeopathic remedies act. The question, embracing as it 
does that of infinitesimal doses, is one of the most vital for 
Homoeopathy, and one that even at this day exposes us to the 
ridicule of our old-school brethren. 

We present the hypothesis that Homoeopathy and Bio- 
chemistry are quite similar ; that Biochemistry offers a 
rational explanation of the homoeopathic action as contained 
in that law of Hahnemann, Similia Similibus Curantur / 

The following table shows, so far as analyses have been 
made, that the twelve tissue salts are constituents of many 
of our well known and proved remedies of the vegetable 



kingdom

30 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

This table is a very incomplete one, as analyses have only 
been made of comparatively few of the remedies of the animal 
and vegetable kingdoms that we use ; and many of these an- 
alyses have been made so crudely as only to note the presence 
of these salts in them, not giving their proportions. To do 
this accurately would entail much time and expense. Of 
course this, to the allopath, is a question of no moment what- 
ever ; but to us, as homoeopaths, who deal with infinitesimals, 
such an enormous quantity as 18.2 per cent, of Silicea occur- 
ring in Equisetum ; 6 per cent, of potash and sodium salts 
occurring in Haviam.; 4 per cent, of Silicea in Cimicif.; 3 per 
cent, of Magnes. phos. in Coloc, as well as other inorganic 
constituents in varying quantities, becomes a matter of vital 
importance. Could we have an exact quantitative and pro- 
portionate analysis of any one drug from the animal or vege- 
table kingdom, we could then dissect its symptoms and tell 
which belonged to one tissue salt and which to another ; and 
it is highly probable that we, by this means, could easily ex- 
plain why the symptoms of one drug are so often found under the 
pathogenesis of another, why one is characteristic in one drug and 
only generic in another, when, indeed, it may not rightly be- 
long to either, but to an inorganic tissue salt, a constituent of 
each drug. 

Perhaps the drug of which as complete an analysis has 
been made as of any is Phytolacca decandra. After evapora- 
tion and incineration, which remove the organic constituents, 
there remain 8.4 per cent, of the inorganic ; of these, 6.8 per 
cent, are soluble and consist mostly of the salts of potash, 
while the insoluble remainder, 1.6 per cent, consists of cal- 
cium, iron and silica. If we compare the pathogenesis of 
Phytol. with the biochemical application of these salts, we 
shall see a striking and significant analogy. As the largest 
quantity of the inorganic salts therein contained is potash, 
we shall find that more symptoms of Phytol. correspond to the 
Kalis, while fewer symptoms correspond to the calcium, iron 
and silica. The following table illustrates this :

32 -THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Were' the analysis quantitatively correct, we should prob- 
ably find some Natr. nmr., as one of the prominent symptoms 
of Phytol. is acrid, watery discharge from the nose. 

This would explain why we have different sets of symptoms 
under one homoeopathic drug, appearing to antagonize each 
other — each is produced by a different tissue salt. 

This much for the vegetable and animal kingdom, sub- 
stances that can be reduced by analysis to elementary bodies. 
In the mineral kingdom the action is somewhat different. 
Nothing need be said of such remedies as are compounds of 
sulphur and phosphorus, as they derive their medicinal power 
by combinations which form tissue salts. The carbonates 
become transformed into the phosphates ; this disposes of such 
drugs as Kali card.., Calc. card., Magnes. card., etc. 

There only remain the minerals, such as Aurum, Platinum, 
Argentum, etc. These in a crude state are acknowledged 
inert, and we triturate them to develop their power. In the 
crude state they do not appear to be materially changed by 
any of the organic acids of the body. When we finally divide 
these they still remain the same, but a new power has been 
developed in them, a catalytic power. 

Examples of catalytic power are, unfortunately, very few. 
Of the known ones is the following : 

Platinum in mass produces no change — no combination of 
oxygen and hydrogen — as it will do, as chemistry teaches us, 
when it is finely divided, without being changed itself. 

This is catalysis, wherein one body produces changes in 
another without itself being changed. The wherefore of this 
action is not known, but it still remains a fact. Catalysis is 
contact action, and by this contact action, mineral drugs act 
inert in the crude state, by trituration a contact action is 
developed, which causes changes, and when given to the 
healthy produces symptoms. 

This rationally explains how inert substances acquire by 
subdivision (trituration) medicinal properties. This has long 
been a stumbling-block to allopathic comprehension of 
Homoeopathy. 



BIOCHEMIC TREATMENT. 33 

Do we not when we prove a drug — that is, administer it to 
the healthy to produce symptoms — and nearly all our homoeo- 
pathic provings are made, more or less, with the potentized 
drug, which process also potentizes the inorganic salts therein 
contained — do we not produce a disturbance in the molecular 
equilibrium of the tissue salts contained in the drug given ? 
For example : When we give Phytol. to prove it, do we not, 
by virtue of 6.8 per cent, of potash salts it contains, cause a 
molecular disturbance of these salts, which would not occur 
were they given in so crude a form as not to be taken up by 
the ducts of the neurilemma of the nerves of taste, etc.? 

This disturbance is only to be corrected when arising from 
disease by giving Phytol. in potency, the potash salts in it 
being the part which gives it its curative power. 

This view by no means takes away the fact that each drug 
is an entity, to be proved as a whole. 

But these very salts in certain proportions are its essential 
substratum, whose presence is necessary to fix, determine and 
embody the inner essence of the drug ; and it is a question to 
be decided whether we could obtain the same results by giving 
the inorganic salt constituents of a drug as by giving the drug 
itself. It seems to us, were it possible, that the former would 
be a more elementary Homoeopathy, and this an indirect Bio- 
chemistry. 

Schiissler, in several of his editions, admits this and says 
that disturbed molecular motion of inorganic cell salts show- 
ing itself as disease is rectified by Biochemistry directly by 
the administration of homogeneous substances, whereas it is 
rectified by Homoeopathy indirectly by the administration of 
heterogeneous substances. 



PART II. 

Materia Medica of the Twelve Tissue Remedies. 



CALCAREA FLUOR1CA. 

Synonyms. — Calcii Fluoridum. Calcium Fluoride. Cal- 
carea Fluorata. 

Common Name. — Fluorspar. Fluoride of Lime. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Ca F 2 . Specific gravity of 
crystals, 3.4. It contains 58.21 parts of calcium. It occurs 
in nature in mineral fluorspar ; it is beautifully crystalline, 
crystallizing in various colors and in cubical or octahedral 
form. It is practically insoluble in water, but is decomposed 
by sulphuric acid generating hydrofluoric acid. 

Preparation. — Selected pieces of crystal fluorspar are pre- 
pared by trituration, as directed under class VII American 
Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Calc. fluor. is found in the sur- 
face of the bones and in the enamel of the teeth. It is also a 
constituent of the elastic fibres and of epidermis. Flastic 
fibres are found in the skin, in the connective tissue, and in 
the vascular walls. 

A disturbance of the equilibrium of the molecules of Calc. 
fluor. causes a continued dilatation, or chronically relaxed 
condition, of the implicated fibres. If the elastic fibres of any 
portion of the vessels of the connective tissue or of the lym- 
phatic system have arrived at such a condition of relaxation, 
the absorption of a solid exudation in such a part cannot take 
place. In consequence, induration of the parts sets in. When 
the elastic fibres of the blood vessels suffer a disturbance of 



36 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

the molecules of Calc. fluor., such pathological enlargements 
of blood vessels take place, which make their appearance as 
hemorrhoidal tumors, varicose and enlarged veins and vas- 
cular tumors, and indurated glands. 

Loss of Calcar. fiuor. in the system is thus seen to be fol- 
lowed by : 

1. A hard, knotty exudation on the surface of a bone. 

2. A relaxation of the elastic fibres, hence dilatation of ves- 
sels, relaxation and displacements of the uterus, relaxation of 
the abdominal walls, hence "hanging belly," hemorrhage of 
womb ; all absence of after pains. 

3. Exudation of Keratin from the cells of the epidermis. 
(Keratin is contained in the skin, hair and nails.) The exu- 
dation dries readily and forms an adhering crust. Frequently 
found in the palms of the hands, which, through labor, form 
fissures and cracks. 

In regard to the resorption of induration, two possibilities 
are to be thought of : 

(a) The elastic fibres near the induration have lost their 
functional ability on account of the pressure exerted. Mole- 
cules of Calcar. fliwr. administered restore their functional 
integrity and thus are enabled to throw off the exudation, 
which will then be absorbed by the lymphatic vessels. 

{b) By means of the volumetric force of Carbonic acid con- 
tained in the blood a part of the Fluorine is split off the 
fluoride of lime, this combines with nascent Hydrogen, forming 
Hydrofluoric acid, which gradually dissolves the molecules 
of the morbid product, and these are taken up by the lym- 
phatics. The part played by the Carbonic acid can be as- 
sumed by Sulphuric acid as well. The latter is formed dur- 
ing the oxidation of albuminoids. 

In a similar manner, as explained under 5, it is possible for 
Calcar. fluor. to bring about solution of a laryngeal croupous 
or diphtheritic exudation. 

General Action. — Diseases having their seat in the substance 
forming the surface of bone, enamel of the teeth, and part of 
all elastic fibres, whether of the skin, the connective tissues, 



CALCAREA FLUORICA. $7 

or the walls of the blood vessels, etc. Thus : all ailments 
which can be traced to relaxed conditions of any of the elastic 
fibres, including dilatation of the blood vessels, arterial and 
venous blood-tumors and piles, varicose and enlarged veins, 
indurated glands of stony hardness. Malnutrition of bones, 
especially of the teeth. Exostosis after injuries. Pendulous 
abdomen. Uterine displacements, etc. Indurations.

acid and other acids, and, to a certain extent, in carbonic acid 
water. 

Preparation. — The Phosphate of lime is prepared by tri- 
turation, as directed in our Pharmacopoeias. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Calc. phos. is absolutely essen- 
tial to the proper growth and nutrition of the body. This 
salt is found in the blood-plasma and corpuscles, saliva, gastric 
juice, bones, connective tissue, teeth, milk, etc. It gives 
solidity to the bones. Calc. phos. has a special chemical 
affinity for albumen, which forms the organic basis for this 
salt in the tissue-cells, and is required wherever albumen or 
albuminous substances are found in the secretions. It also 
supplies new blood-cells, becoming the first remedy in ansemia 
and chlorosis. It is of the greatest importance to the soft 
and growing tissues, promoting cell growth, supplying the 
first basis for the new tissues, hence is necessary to initiate 
growth. 

General Action. — Calc. phos. is curative in disease depend- 
ing upon a disturbed action of the lime-molecules in the body, 
such as occurs in the tardy formation of callus around the 
ends of fractured bones, in the unnatural growth and defective 
nutrition of bone and other textures found in rickets and simi- 
lar diseased conditions ; thus the sphere of action of this 
remedy includes all bone diseases depending on a diseased 
quality of the blood of a dyscrasic taint, involving also the 
dermoid tissues with the osseous. When from any cause an 
insufficient amount of Phosphate of Lime is assimilated for 
the uses of the animal economy, the vegetative system suffers 
primarily, causing defective nutrition, imperfect cell-growth 
and consequent decay and destruction of tissue, especially the 
osseous and glandular systems. It is of use during dentition, 
in convulsions and spasms occurring in weak, scrofulous sub- 
jects, stimulating nutrition, etc. Another important feature 
is its restorative power after acute diseases, either directly or 
preparing the way for other remedies, by stimulating the 
system to their action, thus becoming an important intercur- 
rent remedy. Schiissler, recognizing the origin of the red 



CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA. 43 

blood-globules in the white or embryonic ones, and crediting 
this drug with nutritive stimulation of the white globules, 
claims it promotes the formation of red globules indirectly by 
promoting that of the white globules. Practically, this drug 
proves itself a real tonic in many cases ; in chronic wasting 
diseases and hectic, when the phosphate is found in excess in 
the urine, thus corresponding to faulty secondary assimilation 
and to faulty workings of the excretory organs. In anaemia 
of young, rapidly growing people ; in women weakened by 
rapid child-bearing, prolonged suckling or excessive menstrua- 
tion or leucorrhoea ; in accompanying diseases with exhaustive 
discharges, as in chronic bronchitis, tubercular diarrhoea and 
night-sweats, abscesses and scrofulous sores, through its great 
power on the secretions, it acts curatively. 

In old age, where the regenerative function decreases in the 
nervous tissue, Calc. phos. is well indicated, and we find it 
useful in senile cutaneous and vaginal itching, as well as dur- 
ing reconvalescence from severe acute diseases. In tuber- 
culosis pulmonum, with its emaciation, night-sweats, haemop- 
tysis and other marked physical symptoms, Calc. phos. in low 
potencies holds out great promise to ameliorate the severity 
of the case ; equally great is its benefit in pollutions of young 
married men (and sexual excitement of women) and onanists. 
In the osseous expansions of rachitic children, Traeger uses 
cider internally and externally, and gives at the same time 
Calc. phos. or Calc. finor. This is also his favorite treatment 
in chlorosis (cider-whey, and three times a day about 10 grains 
of the second trituration of Calc. phos.), and he prefers it by 
far to the usual iron treatment. In chorea during puberty 
the salts of lime quiet our patients far better than the reme- 
dies usually recommended. 

Pains where bones form sutures or symphyses and numb, crawl- 
ing pains with chilliness, due to anaemic symptoms, worse from 
wet, and tendency to perspiration and glandular enlargement. 
Sensations mostly in small spots. Phosphatic diathesis. Gen- 
eral lack of vital heat and aggravation from wet. 

If the molecular motion of Calc. phos. is disturbed within 



44 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

the epithelial cells of serous membranes, a sero-albuminous 
exudation within the sacs takes place. In this way develop 
hydrops genu, hygroma patellae, etc. Minute doses of Calc. 
phos. will absorb these exudations. 

If the cells of the epidermis have lost Calc. phos. albumen 
will be thrown upon the surface and by drying, form a crust, 
a desquamation of which can be brought about therapeutic- 
ally by administering Calc. phos. Similar albuminous secre- 
tions take place on mucous surfaces, if their epithelium is 
diseased through loss of Calc. phos. 

Spasms and pains caused by anaemia are cured by this rem- 
edy. These pains are accompanied by formication, sensation 
of coldness and numbness.

Homoeopathic Data. — Proved by C. Hering, collected in 
4 



50 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Guiding Symptoms, vol. iii, and Allen's Encyclopedia. A 
history of the different provings is found in the Hahnemannian 
Monthly, March, 187 1, by C. Hering ; also a Resume by him 
in the North American Journal of Homoeopathy, vol. xx. 

Administration. — The lower triturations, 3X to 6x, are the 
potencies usually employed, probably achieving most satis- 
factory results, although the higher potencies, 30 to 200, have 
given brilliant clinical results. Schiissler prescribes the 6x 
trituration. Large doses are useless and even injurious. Pro- 
longed administration has produced nephritic colic and pas- 
sage of small calculi. 

Relationship. — Very similar to Calc. carb., but with Calc. 
phos. the patient, whose complexion is dirty-white or brown, 
is usually emaciated ; it corresponds more to the acute affec- 
tions of the lungs. In general the phosphate prefers the dark 
complexion, dark eyes and hair, while the carbonate acts best 
in the light-haired and blue-eyed. It occupies a ground between 
Calc. carb. and Phosphor., supplementing the latter frequently 
to great advantage. Calc. phos. and Berberis have both been 
beneficial in fistula in ano ; both have great similarity in 
chest symptoms, particularly such as follow surgical opera- 
tions. In anaemic headaches of schoolgirls, follow by Magnes. 
phos. In dental caries, similar to Fhtor ac, Magnes. phos. and 
Silicea ; in epilepsy, Ferr. phos., Kali mur., Kali phos. and 
Silicea ; in diabetes, Kali phos., Natr. phos.; the latter also is 
similar in worm affections. Follows China in hydrocepha- 
loid and anaemia. Complimentary to Carb. an. and Ruta. 
In neurasthenia Calc. hypophos. may be called for preferably 
for similar symptoms. In the copious sweats after weaken- 
ing, acute diseases compare Psorin. In acute articular rheu- 
matism, if after Natr. mur. and Kali phos. there remains a 
trace of the disease. In lupus, compare Kali mur. Butter- 
milk and koumyss are invaluable foods for the aged, because 
the lactic acid in them dissolves the phosphate of lime and 
prevents the ossification in tendons, arteries and elsewhere. 
As a remedy for the aged compare Baryta. In anaemia and 
chlorosis compare also Natr. mur., especially with constipation, 



CALCAREA SULPHURICA. 5 1 

palpitation on lying down, earthy complexion. In acne Calc. 
pier, is more frequently useful for boys, the Calc. phos. for 
girls. Dyspepsia temporarily relieved by eating is met by 
Calc. phos., but the drug for which this symptom is specific 
is Anacardium. Chelidon. has a similar condition. Compare 
Helonias in the mental depression, debility and phosphatic 
urine. Silicea, anaemia of infants, thin and puny, with a 
tendency to rickets, but with much oily perspiration on the 
head ; also Ferr., Cupr., Arsenic, etc. Zinc, is complementary 
in hydrocephaloid, and Ruta in joint affections. In non- 
union of fractures compare Symphytum. In consumption 
Calc. phos. is followed well by Silicea, Suiph., Tuberc; and 
often indicated after Phos., Merc., Iod., Ars. iod. 

CALCAREA SULPHURICA.* 

Synonyms — Calcii Sulphas. Calcium Sulphate. 

Common Name — Gypsum. Plaster of Paris. 

Chemical Properties — Formula, Ca S0 4 . It is found in 
nature as anhydrite, gypsum, alabaster and selenite ; also in 
various waters constituting one source of permanent hardness. 
Molecular wt., 172. It occurs in flattened prisms (selenite) 
and in earthy masses (gypsum). It is a fine, white crystal- 
line powder, soluble in 400 parts of cold water, insoluble in 
alcohol and in dilute nitric and hydrochloric acids. It can 
be obtained by precipitating a solution of calcium chloride 
with dilute sulphuric acid. 

Preparation. — By trituration, as directed in our Pharma- 
copoeias. 

Physiologico-chemical Data — Present only in the bile accord- 
ing to Bunge, and even here not constant. The Calcarea 
sulph. contained in the bile comes from the liver, where it 

* In the last years of Dr. Schiissler's life this remedy was discarded from 
his list, leaving only eleven, instead of twelve tissue remedies. It has been 
thought best to retain the original number contained in the previous editions 
of this work, as much clinical evidence in favor of this remedy has been 
collected. In the later editions of Schiissler's Therapeutics Natrum phos. 
and Silicea are substituted for this remedy. 



52 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

fulfilled the function of destroying worn-out, red blood cor- 
puscles, by taking away their water. 

Through a deficiency of Calcar. sulph. in the liver this 
destruction of unfit corpuscles is delayed, hence the blood 
soon contains an oversupply of useless cells. Under normal 
conditions all useless blood corpuscles disintegrate by means 
of Calcar. sulph. in the liver ; their remnants are excreted 
through biliary action from the circulation by the shortest 
route. But if a part of these useless corpuscles must be de- 
stroyed by oxidation within the circulation, their elimination 
will thereby be rendered tardy. 

Such remnants as are not excreted by way of the liver from 
the circulation, nor taken up by the lymphatics, reach the 
mucous membranes and skin, producing there catarrh and 
eruptions. 

General Action. — Calc. sulph. stands in close relation to sup- 
purations. It cures purulent discharges from the mucous 
membranes and purulent exudations in serous sacs, as well as 
tubercular ulcers or abscesses of the intestines, and ulcers of 
the cornea, etc. It is curative in suppurations at that stage in 
which matter is discharging or continuing to ooze after the 
infiltrated places have discharged their contents of pus. All 
ailments in which the process of discharge continues too long 
and the suppuration is affecting the epithelial tissues. Acts 
upon the connective tissue. If there is a deficiency of it in 
any small part of its domains, suppuration is the result. The 
presence of pus with a vent is the general indication. (J. C. 
Morgan.)

found in Alleys Encyclopedia, vol. ii, page 410. Nothing 
especially characteristic appears in this proving. In the 
Guiding Symptoms, vol. iii, page 227, is found a complete 
arrangement of the symptoms of this remedy. 

Administration. — This remedy is also useful externally in 
such affections as felons, ulcers and abscesses. The most 



56 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

common potencies for internal use are the 6x and I2x. L,ow 
potencies are most useful in purulent eye troubles. 

Homoeopathic Relationship. — Calc. sulph. resembles Hepar 
sulph., but acts deeper and more intensely, and is often useful 
after Hepar has ceased to act. It is also useful when Kali 
mur. ceases to act. Apocyuum contains Calc. sulph. Compare 
Calend. in suppurations ; Kali mur. in milk-crust and other 
skin affections, swollen cheek, croup, dysentery ; Natr. sulph. 
in post-scarlatinal dropsy ; Silicea in hard or suppurating 
glands, ulcers of the cornese, tonsillitis, mastitis, frost-bites. 

In neuralgia it occupies a ground between the very acute 
pains of Magnes. phos. and the paralyzing ones of Kali phos. 
(more in aged persons, if there is a want of regenerative force 
for the nervous tissue). 

In the third stage of inflammation (resolution) after Kali 
mur., if the discharge is lumpy and bloody ; but if yellow or 
mucous, Kali sulph.; if puslike or bloody pus, Silicea. In car- 
buncles, Anthracine is better. Calc. sulph. is often useful after 
Kali mur., when the latter has but partially relieved, also after 
Bellad. and other acute remedies. 



FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms — Ferroso-ferric Phosphate. Ferri Phosphas. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Iron. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Fe 3 (P0 4 ) 2 . It is prepared 
by mixing sodium phosphate with sulphate of iron in certain 
proportions. The resulting precipitate is filtered, washed and 
dried, and rubbed to a powder, which is bluish-gray from ex- 
posure to the air, without odor or taste. Soluble in acids, but 
insoluble in alcohol or water. It is probably this phosphate 
which is capable of turning blue, which occurs in the lungs in 
phthisis in bluish pus and expectorations. 

Preparation. — The pure phosphate of iron is prepared by 
trituration, as directed under Class VII, American Pharma- 
copoeia. 



FERRTJM PHOSPHORICUM. 57 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Iron is found in the haemo- 
globin or coloring matter of the red blood corpuscles. Ac- 
cording to Dalton, it is not found in such considerable quanti- 
ties in any of the other tissues of the body except in hair. 
In a man weighing 65 kilogrammes (165 pounds) there would 
be 2.82 grammes (44 grains) of iron contained in the entire 
blood of the body. The organic basis of every cell is albu- 
men. Since albumen contains iron, each cell must likewise 
contain iron. Iron and its salts have the property of attracting 
oxygen. The iron of the blood corpuscles takes up the oxygen 
from the inspired air. This is carried to every cell through- 
out the organism by means of the mutual reaction of Iron and 
Kali sulph. A disturbance of the equilibrium of the iron 
molecules in the muscular fibres causes a relaxation. This, 
occurring in the muscular coats of the vessels, causes a dila- 
tation and accumulation of blood in the blood vessels — con- 
gestion — blood-pressure being increased, the walls rupture, 
and hemorrhage results. Again, if the muscular walls of the 
intestinal villi suffer a relaxation from the disturbed equi- 
librium of the iron molecules diarrhoea results ; when this 
occurs in the muscular walls of the intestines themselves the 
peristaltic action of the bowels is weakened and becomes less 
active. This causes tendency to constipation. Anything 
causing a relaxation of the muscular walls of a vessel, and 
consequent hyperaemia, such as an injury, finds its remedy in 
Ferr. phos., as this remedy in minute doses restores the equi- 
librium to the iron molecules, thus strengthening the muscu- 
lar fibres. Through its power of attracting oxygen iron 
becomes a useful remedy in such diseases of the blood cor- 
puscles as anaemia, chlorosis and leucaemia. 

General Action. — From the above it is readily seen that 
Ferr. phos. becomes the first remedy in all cases depending on 
a relaxed condition of muscular tissue, wherever found ; also 
for an abnormal condition of the blood corpuscles themselves. 

If a new supply of iron molecules is given to the relaxed 
muscle cells, caused by the lack of iron, their normal tonicity 
is restored, the circular fibres of the vessels contract to normal 



58 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

bounds, with equalizing of the circulation and abatement of 
the fever. 

Its field of action, then, is in all ailments of a hypersemic or 
congestive nature, with the usual accompaniments of these 
conditions, such as pain, heat, swelling and redness, quickened 
pulse and increased circulation ; in a word, all febrile d'Sturb- 
ances and inflammations at their onset, especially before exudation 
commences. Anaemia, want of red blood, etc. Especially use- 
ful in debility of children with failing appetite, becoming dull 
and listless, loss of weight and strength. Ferr. phos. not only 
improves the strength, but helps to increase the bodily de- 
velopment and regulates the bowels. 

This drug is by Schussler supposed to be no longer indi- 
cated when exudation or even suppuration takes place ; but if 
adapted to the individual patient it may still be depended 
upon. Only when it fails to do any more good should it be 
relinquished. 

In many inflammatory and some eruptive fevers, especially 
in the young and sensitive, seeming to stand midway between 
the intensity of Aeon, and Bellad. and the dulness of Gelsem. 

Iron is the biochemic remedy for : 

i. The first stage of all inflammations.

phos. 

Modalities. — All the pains of this remedy are aggravated by 
motion and are relieved by cold. Acts brilliantly in old 
people. 

Homoeopathic Data. — Ferr. phos. was proved by J. C. 
Morgan, M. D., in 1876. The symptomatology is to be found 
in Alleys Encyclopedia, vol. x, and in the Cyclopedia of Drug 
Pathogenesis, vol. ii. The wide and extensive usefulness of 
this drug is entirely owing to its introduction by Schiissler. 
The provings up to the present time do not give a sufficient 
basis for the broad clinical applications that have been made 
of it according to the indications of Schiissler, although the 
provings, so far as they have gone, support these. 

Administration. — Triturations and dilutions from the 6x to 
the i2x are recommended by Schiissler, although for anaemia 
much lower preparations have been used, as the ix or 2x. 
Competent and trustworthy observers have found it advisable 
not to use this remedy below the i2x at night, as it is exceed- 
ingly liable to cause sleeplessness. Its external application is 
also recommended by Schiissler in such diseases as sprains, 
wounds, hemorrhages, hemorrhoids, etc. Cures with the 200th 
potency are reported in catarrh, summer complaint, gonor- 
rhoea, etc. Dr. Morgan (the prover) uses the 30th potency in 
water in scarlatina. 

Relationship. — Corresponding as it does to the first stage of 
inflammation without, exudation, its nearest analogue is Aeon. 
It stands midway between Aeon, and Gels. Schiissler ex- 
presses himself as follows in regard to the use of Aeon, for 
similar indications : "In the cases in which the vegetable 
remedy Aeon, is used for irritation — hypersemia — the basis of 
the first stage of all inflammations — the practice is indirect 
5 



66 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

biochemistry. Regarding the way and the mode in which 
Aeon, can bring about a cure, there are two possibilities to be 
thought of. Either the Aeon, molecules, which have reached 
the seat of the disease, serve as a temporary substitute for 
iron molecules, which have ceased to perform their function, 
but only until the functional disturbance has been repaired 
by means of the vital circulation, or the Aeon, molecules 
cause at once the introduction of new iron molecules into the 
diseased tissue, and are themselves ejected as foreign bodies 
as soon as the integrity of the latter has been restored — a fate 
which naturally also would be shared by those Aeon, mole- 
cules which might have served as substitutes. Each of these 
possibilities would rest on indirect biochemistry. The heal- 
ing of the irritation — hyperemia — however, by means of 
Ferr. phos. is a direct biochemic procedure." {Walker's Ed. 
of Schiissler' s Diphth.) 

Aconite has a more bounding pulse and the characteristic 
restlessness and anxiety ; Gelsem. a more soft, flowing pulse 
and more drowsiness and dulness. 

In anaemic conditions compare also China, with which it 
has many symptoms in common. It is interesting to note 
that the tree from which Chi)ia is obtained is always found in 
a ferruginous locality. 

In its action upon the respiratory organs it clearly stands 
between iron and phosphorus. L,ike Ferr., it is indicated in 
congestion of the respiratory organs, even when there is con- 
siderable fever. Especially notice that the oppression and 
dyspnoea, both of which are extremely marked in Ferr. and 
Phosphor., are duplicated in this compound and afford good 
indications for its use ; so, in a general way, symptoms of op- 
pression like Phosphor, should be treated by this drug.

Ferr. phos. corresponds in many points also to Bryon. y 
Bellad. and Arnica, and to Hepar and Mercitr., especially in 
acute inflammation of middle ear. In the debility, loss of 
strength and vitality of children, it is the remedy if the flesh 
be firm, complexion delicate, hair light and curly ; but Sulphur

takes its place in dark-complexioned children, with flabby 
mnscles, long and lank hair and moist skin. In the rheumatic 
affections of the aged, when the muscles are stiff and weakened, 
with a disposition to painful cramps, compare Strych. phos. 
California Zinfandel wine, a pure claret, the product of the 
vine growing in a volcanic, virgin soil, strongly impregnated 
with iron, possesses virtues in cases of anaemic tendency, prob- 
ably due to the iron soil on which it grows. After Ferr. phos. 
is frequently indicated Kali mur. (See therapeutical part.) 
Especially in diphtheria, pneumonia, croup, etc., etc. 

In chlorosis, follow or precede Calc. phos. 

In hemorrhoids, Calc. fluor. 

In diabetes, Natr. sulph. 

In broncho-pneumonia, Tart, eynet. 

In ear affections, catarrhal deafness, Calendula and Hydras- 
tis. 

KALI MURIATICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Chloride. Kali Chloratum. Kali 
Chloridum. Potassii Chloridum. 

Common Names. — Chloride of Potash or Chloride of Po- 
tassium. (N. B. — This drug must not be confounded with Kali 
Chloricum, whose synonyms are Potassium Chlorate, Potassae 
Chloras and Potash Chloras, whose common name is Chlorate of 
Potash, and whose formula is K CI 3 . This has been proved, 
and the authors of the " Giciding Symptoms'''' have deemed 
them sufficiently similar to Schiissler's Kali mur. to incorpor- 
ate them in their work. See Vol. VI, " Guiding Symptoms."} 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K CI. Occurs in nature 
in mineral carnallite. It may be prepared by neutralizing 
pure aqueous hydrochloric acid with pure potassium carbon- 
ate or hydrate. It crystallizes in cubes, occasionally in octahe- 
drons. The crystals are colorless or white, melt at a low red 
heat and volatilize at a high temperature without decomposi- 
tion. It is soluble in three parts of cold and two of boiling 
water, and is insoluble in strong alcohol. 



68 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Preparation. — The pure chloride is prepared by trituration 
as directed under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico - chemical Data. — This salt, according to 
Schiissler, stands in a chemical relation to fibrin ; disturbances 
in its molecular action cause fibrinous exudations. Without 
the presence of this salt no new brain-cell formation would 
take place. This salt is found in the blood corpuscles, muscles, 
nerve and brain-cells, as well as in the inter-cellular fluids. In 
its physiological character it is closely related to the sodium 
chloride, many of the properties of which it shares. If the 
cells of the epidermis, in consequence of any irritation, lose 
molecules of Kali mur., fibrin in the form of a white or 
whitish-gray exudation, is thrown off. This, in drying, be- 
comes a mealy eruption. If the irritation extends to the tissues 
beneath the epidermis, both fibrin and serum will exude, and 
the involved part of the skin will be pushed up in the form 
of blisters. Similar processes can take place within and 
amongst epithelial cells. If the integrity of the affected tissue 
is again restored by the administration of Kali mur. molecules, 
then a reabsorption or throwing off of the exudation occurs. 
Either result is attained probably by the production of hydro- 
chloric acid formed by one part of chlorine from the K CI 
with hydrogen. The action of this hydrochloric acid consists 
in dissolving the fibrin in the formative (nascent) state. 

General Action. — Kali mur. corresponds to the second 
stage of inflammations of serous membranes when the exu- 
dation is of a plastic character. If leucocytes remain after 
the absorption of the fibrin of a plastic exudation, Natrum 
phosph. is serviceable. Kali mur. answers to croupous or diph- 
theritic exudations, and hence is useful in such diseases as 
diphtheria, dysentery, croup, croupous pneumonia, fibrinous 
exudations in the interstitial connective tissues, lymphatic enlarge- 
ments, infiltrated inflammations, cutaneous eruptions from bad 
vaccine virus, etc. The principal general characteristic symp- 
toms are a white or gray coating at the base of the tongue, white 
or gray exudations, glandular swellings, discharges or expectora-

tions of a thick, white, fibrinous slime or phlegm from any mucous 
surface, or flour-like scaling of the skin, torpor of the liver,

74 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

glands. Scurvy, hard infiltrations. Second remedy in sprains, 
strumous conditions. Bad effects of vaccination. Syphilis. 

Modalities. — All the stomach and abdominal symptoms of 
this drug are worse after taking fatty food, pastry, or any rich 
food. The rheumatic and other pains are increased and aggra- 
vated by motion. 

Homoeopathic Data. — Hering's Guiding Symptoms, Vol. VI, 
contains a complete resume of symptoms of this drug, but 
unfortunately they are mixed up with symptoms of Kali 
chloriciim with no distinguishing sign, rendering the collec- 
tion of symptoms less valuable for purposes of study than 
would be the case had they been kept separate. 

Administration. — Triturations and dilutions. Schussler's 
preference is for the 6x or i2x, though latterly he has given 
lower potencies. In diphtheria he recommends a gargle of the 
3x, 10 or 15 grains in a tumbler of water. Its external appli- 
cation is also recommended in burns, boils, carbuncles, skin 
affections, warts, etc., to be applied on lint dressings. 

Relationship. — Corresponding as it does to the second stage 
of all inflammatory troubles, immediately upon appearance of 
exudation, its nearest concordants are Bryon., Mercur., Apis, 
Thuja, Spongia, Iodine, Pulsat., Rhus and Sulphur. 

Analyses of the following drugs show them to contain Kali 
mur. in quite considerable quantities (homceopathically con- 
sidered) : Phytol, Sanguin., Stilling., Pinus Can., Asclep., 
Ailanth., Anis. stell., Hamam. virg., Cimicif., Berber. Most of 
these possess many symptoms in common with Kali mur. 
When full chemical analyses shall have been made of the 
various drugs, vegetable and animal, we shall be able to com- 
pare the symptoms of each drug with those of its component 
parts. Compare in Eustachian tube troubles Merc. dulc. In 
syphilis follow with Kali sulph. and Silicea. In lupus, Calc. 
phos. 

In Schussler's Therapeutics Kali mur. assumes a role much 
like Sulphur in pure Homoeopathy, as a deep-acting remedy 
with eradicating tendencies, useful as an intercurrent, and to 
prepare the way for other indicated remedies. Kali mur. is 



KALI PHOSPHORICUM. 75 

frequently followed by Calc. sulph., which latter completes the 
action of the former. Kali mur. follows Ferr. phos., when the 
true lymph-exudation of ripening interstitial inflammation 
sets in. It also supercedes Natr. mur. when the deeper 
layers of epithelium, adjoining the connective tissue base- 
ment, are involved, and even suffer exfoliation, causing a 
white-coated tongue and an opaque-whitish secretion. 
(Morgan.) 

Kali mur. may be compared with the chlorate, Kali chlor.^ 
the most poisonous of all the potash salts, a violent irritant of 
the whole gastro-intestinal mucous membrane, producing gan- 
grenous ulceration. Compare in aphthae, dysentery, epithe- 
lioma and nephritis. See Allen's Handbook. 



KALI PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Phosphate. Potassii Phosphas. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Potash. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K 2 H P 4 . Prepared by 
mixing aqueous phosphoric acid with a sufficient quantity of 
potash, hydrate or carbonate, until the reaction is slightly 
alkaline, and evaporating. It crystallizes with difficulty. It 
is very deliquescent ; it is freely soluble in water and insoluble 
in alcohol. 

Preparation. — It is prepared by trituration, as directed 
under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Kali phos. is a constituent 
of all animal fluids and tissues, notably of the brain, nerves, 
muscles and blood-cells. All tissue-forming substances retain 
it with the greatest obstinacy, all nutritious fluids contain it, 
hence we may well conclude that it is indispensable to the 
formation of tissues. We know also that the oxidation pro- 
cesses, the change of gases in the respiration, and other chemi- 
cal transformations in the blood, as well as the saponifying of 
the fat and its further oxidation, are brought about by the 
presence of the alkalies, and chiefly by the presence of Kali 



j6 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

phos. This alkaline reaction is essential to a large number of 
vital processes taking place in the interior, and is present, 
without exception, in all the animal fluids which are actually 
contained in the circulating system, or in the closed cavities 
of the body. (Dal ton.) It is found that the nerves retain 
their vital properties for a long time and very completely in 
a solution of this salt. By the diminution of the excretion of 
Kali phos. in the urine, conditions are produced within the 
organism which may present many-sided resistance to the 
typhus-decomposing element, as well as to the extension of 
the typhus process. (Grauvogl.) Kali phos. is an antiseptic 
and hinders the decay of tissues. Adynamia and decay are 
the characteristic states of Kali phos. 

The most important discovery of Liebig, that phosphate of 
potash is predominant in the serum of the muscles and 
chloride of sodium in the circulating blood, we have often 
made great use of, particularly with regard to preferring the 
one or the other nourishment. (Hering.) A disturbance of 
the Kali. phos. molecules has for its results : 

i. In the mental sphere such conditions as bashfulness, 
anxiety, fear, tearfulness, suspicion, homesickness, weakness 
of memory, depression, etc. 

2. In the vaso-motor nerves : Pulse at first small and fre- 
quent, later retardation. 

3. In sensory nerves : Pains with paralytic sensation. 

4. In motor nerves : Muscular and nerve prostration to 
paralysis. 

5. Trophic fibres of sympathetic nerve : Retardation of 
nutrition to complete cessation within a circumscribed cellular 
domain, hence softening and degeneration of involved nerves. 

General Action. — Conditions arising from want of nerve 
power, as prostration, exertion, loss of mental vigor, depres- 
sion. In general, a sluggish condition of mind, which will 
act if aroused ; also an exhausted mental condition after men- 
tal exertion or great strain. It corresponds to the hosts of 
conditions known as neurasthenia, in which field it has won 
its greatest laurels. It is a restorative in muscular debility 



KAU PHOSPHORICUM. J J 

following acute diseases, myalgia and wasting of muscular 
tissue, all dependent upon impaired innervation. Atrophic 
condition in old people. In cases arising from rapid decom- 
position of the blood corpuscles and muscle juice, such as 
hemorrhages of a septic nature, scorbutus, stomatitis, gan- 
grenous angina, phagedenic chancre, offensive, carrion-like 
diarrhoea, adynamic or typhoid conditions, etc.

Modalities. — Many symptoms of this remedy are aggravated 
by noise, by rising from a sitting posture, by exertion and 
continued exercise and after rest. Cold air aggravates all pains. 
The characteristic ameliorations are gentle motion, eating, 
under excitement and company ; worse when alone. Pains 
and itchings worse 2 to 5 A. M. 

Homoeopathic Data. — The remedy has been proved by the 
Provers' Union of Chicago, under the direction of Dr. H. C. 
Allen, the salient features of which are included in the above 
symptomatology. Another so-called proving has been made 
for Dr. B. Fincke, in a very sensitive young woman, with the 
cm. potency held between the fingers ! We must confess 
that we have not read the account of this heroic proving, as 
we could not conscientiously incorporate it in our treatise. 
However, any one interested in this curiosity can find a re- 
port of it in the Proceedings of I. H. A. Transactions, and 
also in The Medical Advance, March, 1892, in which number 
also Dr. Allen's arrangement of his proving can be found. A 
carefully prepared differential diagnosis of the phosphates 
from the imperfect materials, then in hand by the late Dr. 
Samuel Lilienthal, can be found in the Transactions of the 
American Institute of Homoeopathy for 1890. The drug 
merits more extended, careful provings with all potencies. 



KALI PHOSPHORICUM. 85 

Administration. — The lower potencies seem to work best ; 
thus the 2x or 3X in asthma is recommended by Schiissler. 
However, the higher, 6x and i2x, and high potencies have 
all been employed with success. 

Relationship. — Probably the nearest analogues are Rhus tox. 
and Phosph., with which it has many symptoms in common. 
The nervous symptoms of Pulsat. seem to depend on the 
amount of Kali phos. present. The peculiar mental state of 
Pulsat. is also found under this remedy. Phytol. also has 
many symptoms in common with Kali phos. Compare the 
sciatica. Ignat., too, probably contains Kali phos., as the 
hysterical symptoms are nearly identical. Kali phos. in its 
actions as a nerve sedative is related to Ignat., Coffea, Hyoscy., 
Chamom. In menstrual headaches compare Zinc, Cimicif., 
Gelsem., Cyclamen, etc. In bladder troubles Kali phos. often 
finds a complementary remedy in Magnes. phos., the latter cor- 
responding more to the spasmodic affections, while Kali phos. 
more to the paralytic symptoms. In incipient paralysis of the 
brain, when nephritic irritation accompanies, compare Zinc, 
phos. In hemorrhages, bright or dark red, thin, watery, not 
clotted, follow Kali phos. by Natr. mur., also Nitr. ac. After 
weakening diseases, the French variety of mushrooms, which 
contain large quantities of Kali phos., restore the muscles 
more quickly than anything else. In its disordered mental 
conditions compare Cyclam., which frequently corrects the 
abnormal, dreamlike, mental state of the insane. Compare 
Kali mur. in puerpural fever. In post-diphtheritic complaints 
compare Lachesis, Caust. In the gangrenous conditions com- 
pare Kali chlor. 

Groups for study with Kali phos.: 

1. Nervous system, Cimicif., Hyos., Stramon., Zinc, Silicea, 
Ignat, Anacard., Conium, Staphisag. 

2. Blood degeneration, Baptis., Mur. acid, Laches., Crotalus, 
Kreosote, Arsenic, Carbo, China. 



86 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 



KALI SULPHURICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Sulphate. Kali Sulphas. Potassse 
Sulphas. 

Common Name. — Sulphate of Potash. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K S0 4 . Occurs native in 
lavas, etc. Crystallizes in short, permanent, colorless four- 
and six-sided prisms. It is soluble in ten parts of cold and 
three parts of boiling water. It is insoluble in alcohol. It 
has a sharp, bitter, saline taste. 

Preparation. — Pure sulphate of potash is prepared by tritu- 
ration, as directed under Class VII, American Homoeopathic 
Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico chemical Data. — This remedy, according to 
Schiissler, is the function remedy of the epidermis and of the 
epithelium. A deficiency of this cell salt causes a yellow, 
slimy deposit on the tongue, slimy, thin, or decidedly yellow 
or greenish discharge and secretions of watery matter from 
any of the mucous surfaces, and epithelial or epidermal des- 
quamation. The yellowness is probably due to retrograde 
metamorphosis — fatty degeneration of inflammatory products 
and of effete epithelium, etc. 

The sulphates in nature and the oxide of iron serve as oxy- 
gen carriers. If sulphate and iron oxide come in contact simul- 
taneously with an organic substance in a state of decay they 
give off their oxygen, and sulphate of iron is formed thereby ; 
this may again be decomposed by the oxygen of the air, 
forming sulphuric acid and iron oxide, which, under favorable 
conditions, become again carriers of oxygen. Similar pro- 
cesses may occur in the human organism. Therefore, of the 
sulphates, Kali sulph. probably plays an important role, be- 
cause it is found in the cells and in the intercellular fluids, 
muscles, nerves, epithelium and in the blood corpuscles. It 
is the carrier of oxygen. The oxygen taken up by the iron 
contained in the blood corpuscles is carrried to every cell of 
the organism by the reciprocal action of Kali sulph. and iron. 
Kvery cell requires for its growth and development the vital- 



KALI STJXPHURICUM. 87 

izing influence of oxygen. But its continued action oxidizes 
the organic basis of the cells. Hence, they disintegrate into 
their constituent elements. A deficiency of Kali sulph. may, 
according to location and extent, occasion the following 
symptoms : Feeling of heaviness and weariness, vertigo, chilli- 
ness, palpitation, fear, melancholy, toothache, headache, pains 
in the limbs, which intermit and change location. These 
pains are worse in closed rooms, warmth and towards evening, 
and better in fresh, open air, that is rich in oxygen. 

Epidermis and epithelial cells poorly fed with oxygen 
loosen and desquamate freely. If oxygen is brought to the 
suffering parts by means of Kali sulph. the formation of new 
cells is thereby furthered, and these hasten, by their activity, 
to promote the desquamation of the old ones. 

General Action. — It is applicable to the third stage of in- 
flammation or to its stage of retrogression, the sulphates being 
characteristic products of the oxidation of tissue and the potas- 
sium having its special sphere in the solids, and the resulting 
salt becomes a prominent constituent of their ashes, whence 
we can infer its homceopathicity to the same stage. Ailments 
accompanied by profuse desquamation of epidermis. Yellow 
mucous discharges. Rise in temperature at night producing an 
evening aggravation. Another characteristic indication is 
amelioration in the cool, open air. Diseases caused by a retro- 
cession of eruptions. To produce perspiration if Ferr. phos. 
fails.

tetter in the palms. Chafing of children. Old tetters. Tuber- 
culous ulcers with a continuous oozing of yellow pus and 
lymph.

lent secretions. Serous, watery exudations. Torpidity, de- 
pressed vitality ; and disease makes rapid headway. Soft polypi. 
Bpithelioma. Migratory rheumatism of the joints. 

Modalities. — The grand characteristics are the evening: aggra- 
vation and the amelioration in the cool, open air. Great aggra- 
vation in a heated room ; also the characteristic secretion from 
mucous membranes, yellow, sticky, slimy. 

Homoeopathic Data. — No regular proving, but a brief collec- 
tion of symptoms derived from very large doses, old school 
sources, is found in Alien 's Encyclopedia, vols, v and x, and 
vol. vi, Guiding Symptoms. They are included in the above. 

Administration. — Schiissler recommends the i2x and 6x, 
these giving the best results. In febrile conditions it must be 
given frequently. It is recommended externally in dandruff 
and diseases of the scalp. Often completes a cure commenced 
by Kali mur. 

Relationship. — The nearest analogue to Kali sitlph. appears 
to be Pulsat. It is interesting to compare these two remedies, 
as they have many symptoms in common. Thus both have : 

Aggravation of symptoms in a warm room. Amelioration 
in the cool and open air. Discharges from mucous membranes 
are yellow, purulent in character ; sometimes yellowish-green. 
Coating of tongue yellow and slimy. Pressure and feeling of 
fulness in stomach. Gonorrhoea with yellow or yellowish- 
green, bland discharge. Yellow mucous expectoration from 
the lungs on coughing. Hoarseness from a simple cold. 
Pains in the limbs, worse at night and from warmth ; better 
in cool, open air. Palpitation of the heart. Migratory or 
shifting and wandering rheumatic pains. A chemical analysis 
of Pulsat. shows that one of its constituents is Kali sulph., 
another is Kali phos. and another is Calc. phos. Its mucous 
symptoms probably are due to the presence of Kali sulph., and 
its mental and nervous symptoms to Kali phos.; but, of course, 



92 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

this is pure hypothesis, and only suggested for further study 
and observation. Kali sulph, often follows with advantage 
Kali mur. Compatible remedies in itching and redness of 
skin : Acetic acid, Arsen., Calc. carb., Dolichos, Hepar, Puis., 
Rhus, Sepia, Silicea, Sulphur, Urtica. 

Compare Natr. mur. in deafness, pain in stomach, coarse 
rales and profuse exudations, but these are more watery in 
Natr. mur. 



MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA. 

Synonyms. — Magnesium Phosphoricum. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Magnesia. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Mg HP0 4 , 7H 2 0. It is 
made by mixing phosphate of soda with sulphate of magnesia. 
The crystals resulting are six-sided, needle-like. They have 
a cooling, sweetish taste. They are sparingly soluble in water ; 
322 parts dissolving one part after standing a long time. Boil- 
ing decomposes it. It exists in the grains of cereals, and can 
be detected in considerable quantity in beer. 

Preparation. — The salt is triturated according to Class VII, 
American Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — It is an earthy constituent 
of muscle, nerves, bone, brain, teeth and blood corpuscles. A 
disturbance of its molecular motion causes cramps, pains and 
paralysis. Schiissler says that the action of Magnes. phos. is 
the reverse of that of iron. By functional disturbance of the 
molecules of the latter the muscular fibres relax ; through the 
functional disturbances of the magnesium molecules they con- 
tract ; hence it is the remedy for cramps, convulsions and other 
nervous phenomena. 

General Action. — Diseases having their seat in the nerve- 
fibre cells or in the terminal bulbs of the nerves, in the muscles 
or in the muscular tissue itself, are cured by this remedy. 
Pains which are darting, spasmodic in character, boring, 
lightning-like, accompanied by a constrictive feeling. They 



MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA. 93 

are often changing in locality, and are relieved by warmth 
and pressure. It is purely antispasmodic, and hence is curative 
in cramps, spasms of the glottis, tetanus, epilepsy, spasmodic 
retention of the urine, paralysis agitans, etc. It is best adapted 
to lean, thin, emaciated persons of a highly nervous organiza- 
tion, and prefers light complexion and the right side of the 
body. Cold in general favors its action exceedingly, whereas 
heat and pressure interfere with it. Hence the patient is 
relieved by these. Attacks are often attended with great 
prostration and sometimes with profuse sweat. The Magnes. 
phos. patient is languid, tired, exhausted, unable to sit up, 
whether he is suffering from acute or chronic affections. 

Guiding Symptoms and General Characteristics. 

Mental Symptoms. — Illusions of the senses, forgetful, dulness 
and inability to think clearly, indisposition to mental effort.

shoulders. Headache from occiput, spreading over whole head 
with nausea and chilliness. Scalp feels rough ; much dandruff ; 
pustules. 

Eyes. — Vision affected, sees colors before the eyes (chroma- 
topsia), sparks, eyes sensitive to light, photophobia, diplopia,

ally worse on the right side, from cold, cold air, draught of air, 
cold washing and from touch. They are always relieved by 
warmth, heat, pressure, bending: double, and friction. 

Homoeopathic Data. — Since its introduction by Schussler this 
magnificent remedy has been proved by Drs. W. P. Wessel- 
hoeft, J. A. Gann and other members of the I. H. A., by 
which the main indications of Schussler were verified and 
others added, thus giving us a polychrest of the highest order. 
' All the provings have been arranged systematically by Dr. H. 
C. Allen, and published in the Medical Advance, December, 
1889. The foregoing symptomatology contains all that seemed 
to us reliable and worthy of preservation. A resume of its 
symptoms is also given in Hering's Guiding Symptoms, vol. 
vii. 

Administration. — Schussler recommends the 6x trituration, 
and adds that it acts best when given in hot water. Many 
practitioners have verified this valuable hint, and found also 
that in case of failure with this preparation, the lower poten- 
cies, such as the first and second, would cure. In colic, Dr. J. 
C. Morgan advises the 30X in water, and frequent doses. But 
in view of the really surprising and apparently wholly trust- 
worthy results obtained by the provers with the high and 
highest potencies, we would recommend these should the 
lower fail. 

Relationship. — Magnes. phos. has won its greatest laurels in 
the treatment of nervous affections, neuralgias especially. 
Here, in a general way, it finds another tissue remedy with 
which it shares the honors. This is Kali phos., which is more 
truly the nutritive brain remedy, and clinically corresponds 
more to paretic affections, while Magnes. phos. does more to 
spasmodic affections. The general modality differs, too, Kali 
phos. having amelioration by cold applications. In studying 
the action of this drug, we find the most striking resemblance 
in the colic and other neuralgic symptoms with Colocynth.\ 
and it certainly is a suggestive and interesting fact that 
Colocynth. contains 3 per cent, of Magnes. phos. The flatulent 
colic reminds also of Dioscorea. Another near relative is 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 99 

Gelsem. The provings of both show a close correspondence 
in the mixture of spasmodic and paretic symptoms, hence 
their successful employment in hysteria, hypochondriasis 
and spinal irritation. The chill up and down the back are 
common to both. Naturally enough come into this physio- 
logical group Ignat. and Nux mosch., which compare espe- 
cially in the flatulent symptoms of both and the spasmodic of 
Ignat. In spasms Magnes. phos. is like Bellad., and follows 
it frequently, should it fail and the patient present the dilated 
pupils, staring eyes and starting at slightest noise. In stra- 
bismus, if caused by worms, compare Natrum phos.; in wa- 
tery secretions, diarrhoea, etc., Natrum mur.; in epilepsy, Kali 
mur., Calc. phos., and Silicea ; affections of the right side of 
the body, Bellad., Bryon., Chelid., Kali carb., Lycop., Podoph. 
The violent pains remind of Bellad., Stramon.; the shifting, 
rapidly changing of Puis., Kali sulph., Lac can.; the squeez- 
ing, constricting sensation of Cactus, Calc, Iod. and Sulph. 
The menstrual and labor-pains resemble Viburn., also Pulsat, 
but, unlike this, are better by heat. Cimicif. has much simi- 
larity here, but its pains are more steady, those of Magnes. 
phos. more spasmodic. Again, the pains of Magnes. phos. 
seem to be more in the deeper structures — ovaries, fundus ; 
those of Cimicif. more in the ligamentous (A. P. Davis.) In 
membranous dysmenorrhea remember Borax and Acetic acid 
and Viburn. op. Among plants containing Magnes. phos. 
may be mentioned Lobelia, Symphytum, Stramon. and 
Viburn., which probably explains the presence of similar 
symptoms. In the nightly neuralgic pains relieved by heat 
compare also Ars.; and its action on the nervous system gen- 
erally compare Zinc. 

Antidotes. — Bellad., Gelsem., Lachesis.

Natrium Chloratum Purum. Sodii Chloridum. Chloride of

IOO THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Common Karnes. — Common Salt. Table Salt. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na CI. It occurs abun- 
dantly in nature, nearly everywhere. It crystallizes from 
aqueous solutions in colorless, transparent, anhydrous cubes ; 
it is soluble in three parts of cold water, scarcely more in 
boiling. It is insoluble in absolute alcohol. Its watery solu- 
tions dissolve several bodies insoluble in water, e. g., Calc. 
flhos., etc. 

Preparation. — One part by weight of pure chloride of so- 
dium is dissolved in nine parts by weight of distilled water. 
Amount of drug power, one-tenth. Dilutions and triturations 
should be prepared according to Hahnemann's methods. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — This salt is a constituent of 
every liquid and solid part of the body. Its function is to 
regulate the degree of moisture within the cells. 

This function of salt to regulate the degree of moisture 
within the cells is accomplished by virtue of its property of 
attracting water, which is imbibed as drink or in the food, 
and reaching the blood through the epithelial cells of the 
mucous membrane, whence it may finally reach ■ the various 
cells, giving them the needful degree of moisture. Every 
cell contains soda, combining with nascent chlorine, which is 
formed by the splitting up of the chloride of sodium contained 
in the intercellular fluids. This chloride of sodium within 
the cell thus produced has the property of attracting water ; 
in consequence of which the cell enlarges and is divided. 
Only in this way does division of cells for purposes of cell 
multiplication take place. 

If no chloride of sodium is formed within the cells, the 
water destined to supply their moisture is retained in the 
intercellular fluids, and a hydremia results. The patient 
then shows a watery, bloated appearance, is languid, drowsy, 
lachrymose, chilly, especially along the spine and extremi- 
ties. He craves salt. Although a plentiful supply of salt 
may be offered in the food, the diseased condition is not re- 
moved, simply because the cells cannot take up the particles 
of salt unless offered in a very dilute solution. 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. IOI 

An oversupply of salt within the intercellular fluids often 
occasions a salty taste, due to the irritation of the glossophar- 
yngeal and lingual nerves. Such a condition also causes 
acridity of secretions of mucous membranes or of open 
wounds. 

Chloride of sodium contained in the healthy epithelial cells 
of serous membranes regulates the osmosis of water from the 
arterial blood to the several serous sacs. A disturbance of 
the functions of these salt molecules is followed by a watery 
exudation within the sacs. By the therapeutic application of 
small doses of Natrum mur. the cells are enabled to reabsorb 
the exudation. 

A disturbance of the molecular motion of this salt in the 
epithelium of the tear glands, or in the salivary glands is fol- 
lowed by lachrymation or ptyalism. 

If the dental branch of the fifth nerve is irritated, and the 
disturbance reaches the lachrymal glands, which is done by 
means of the secretory fibres of the sympathetic, and which 
results in a disturbance of the function of the molecules of 
salt in these cells, we have a toothache accompanied by a 
profuse flow of saliva. 

The epithelial cells of the intestinal mucous membrane 
transfer, by means of their salt, the water taken with the 
food into the blood contained in the branches of the portal 
vein. A disturbance of their function through any irritation 
results in a reverse flow. Serum enters the intestinal canal, 
and a watery diarrhoea results in consequence. And if the 
irritation reaches the mucous cells of the intestines, a watery, 
mucous diarrhoea results. The mucin of the mucous cells 
appears on the surface as a glairy, transparent mucus. The 
normal secretion of mucus is decreased if the mucous cells 
contain too little salt and mucin. 

It is the sodium chloride particularly which regulates the 
quantity of water entering into the composition of the blood 
corpuscles, thereby preserving their form and consistence ; 
and it seems to perform an analagous office with regard to 
the other semi-solids of the body. (Dal ton.) 



102 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

The Natr. mur. molecules contained in the epithelial cells 
of the peptic glands become split up by the mild action of the 
carbonic acid of the blood, its chlorine is separated, and the 
free soda unites with the carbonic acid, and this combination 
reaches the blood while the chlorine, united to the hydrogen 
and dissolved in water, reaches the stomach as hydrochloric 
acid. If on account of the want of salt in the epithelial cells 
of the peptic glands no HC1 can be formed, there arises an 
increase of the exudated alkaline mucus from the superficial 
epithelium of the mucous membrane of the stomach. Diluted 
hydrochloric acid, given in order to reduce the secretion of 
the superficial epithelial cell to the proper quantity, is but a 
palliative procedure ; a rational cure must be effected by re- 
storing the disturbed motion of the NaCl molecules which 
are found in the nourishing fluid of the epithelial cells of the 
peptic glands by means of administering homogeneous mole- 
cules. 

This is also the function remedy of mucin, which is con- 
tained in the epithelial cells of all mucous membranes. It 
cures catarrh of such when its characteristic exudation is 
present ; just as the hydrochloric acid formed in the epithelial 
cells of the peptic glands reduces the increased alkaline mu- 
cous exudation of the superficial epithelium to the right quan- 
tity, so can the hydrochloric acid that is formed by splitting 
up of the chloride of sodium within the mucin of all mucous 
membranes limit the secretion of the mucus in the formative 
(nascent) stage. 

It is a fact that hydrochloric acid is obtained from salt 
{Natr. mur.\ not only by means of carbonic acid acting upon 
the salt in a mass, but a similar result is obtained by the ac- 
tion of water. In the former the carbonic acid unites with 
the sodium which has lost its chlorine, and this combination 
reaches the blood ; in the other case, sodium hydroxyd results, 
which dissolves the mucin and increases the secretion of 
mucus. This explains the origin of catarrh in damp atmos- 
pheres. 

In consequence of a marked disturbance of the function of 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 103 

salt, blood serum may transude into the stomach and vomit- 
ing of a watery secretion (waterbrash) will result. If salt is 
lacking in a portion of cells (below) the epidermis, their proper 
amount of water cannot be received, and the epidermis rises in 
blisters, with clear, watery contents. Similar blisters, from 
corresponding disturbances, may arise on the conjunctiva. 

In consequence of a disturbed function of salt we may find 
at the same time, though in different places, secretions either 
increased or decreased. For instance, a gastric catarrh with 
vomiting of water or mucus may exist, together with a con- 
stipation, caused by a lessened secretion of mucus in the 
colon. 

Among the main effects of undue salt-eating we find : 

1) A thickening and partial paralysis of the vocal cords 
and an almost continual sore throat. 

2) A pale and waxy color, with dryness of the cuticle, 
which yet perspires too freely upon exertion. 

3) Constipation or chronic diarrhoea. 

4) Abnormal appetite. 

5) Plethora and corpulence. 

6) Retarded endosmosis and exosmosis. 

7) Thinning of the blood, slow circulation and lowered 
temperature. 

8) Dandruff, cutaneous affections, deposits and abscesses. — 
Medical Argus, Sept., '96. 

General Action — Natr. mur. promotes the activity of tissue 
change and increases the excretion of urea, hence its use in 
chronic scrofulous ailments affecting the glands, bowels and 
skin. It acts upon the blood, lymphatic system, the mucous 
lining of the digestive tract and upon liver and spleen. It 
causes a deterioration of the blood and other vital fluids, par- 
taking of a scorbutic nature, giving rise to inflammation, 
going on to ulcerations and producing distinct dyscrasiae. It 
also produces, and hence cures, cachexia like that resulting 
from ague plus quinine. Malnutrition and emaciation. Anaemia, 
leucaemia, hydraemia, chlorosis and scorbutus. A serous dis- 
charge is the leader to this drug. It causes pains in any part 



104 THE TWEEVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

of the body when they are accompanied by salivation, in- 
creased lachrymation, or by vomiting of water or mucus. 
Mucous membranes everywhere are affected, producing 
sponginess and swelling with venous hyperemia, bleeding and 
increased mucous secretion ; hence, catarrhs of all mucous 
membranes, with secretions of transparent, watery, coarse, 
frothy mucus. Vesicles with watery contents, which burst 
and leave a thin scurf. Watery vomiting, increased aqueous- 
ness of any part of the body, hydrocephalus, etc. The tongue 
has a clean, shiny appearance, or bubbles of frothy saliva extend 
along its sides, or is broad, pallid, puffy, with a pasty coat. Di- 
minished secretions of any part of the body, salty taste. 

Dr. L,eon Rosenbusch, of Iyemburg, reports a most favora- 
ble experience in the use of Natr. mur. by subcutaneous in- 
jections in cases marked by danger of failing circulation. 
The following is a resume by the author of the indications 
for injection and the amounts to be used : 

i. Sudden collapse (five to eight drams of a six per cent, 
solution). 

2. Paresis of the heart muscles from any acute disease (five 
to eight drams at once, and then one to two drams daily). 

3. Acute gastro-enteritis, great weakness after severe vomit- 
ing and diarrhoea (eight to twenty ounces of a tepid solution 
of six per thousand). 

4. Hemorrhage from lungs, stomach or bowels (five drams, 
then one and a half drams daily). 

5. Heart-failure in consequence of chronic disease and ca- 
chetic conditions (one and a half drams daily for several 
days).

also re-proved by the Austrian Society of Provers, and the 
pathogenetic effects recorded by Hahnemann and therapeutic 
results obtained by the use of the 30th potency brilliantly ver- 
ified. Its pathogenesis is found complete in the Chronic Dis- 
eases, but excellent resumes, together with added clinical 
experience since that publication, can be found in Hering's 
Guiding Symptoms, vol. vii, and Allen's Handbook of Materia 
Medica. An interesting and suggestive little book on Natrum 
muriaticum as a test of the doctrine of "Drug Dynamization" 
by Dr. Jas. C. Burnett, is also worthy of special mention. 
Published by B. Gould & Son, Dondon. 

Administration — Schiissler recommends the 6th potency. 
The general experience of the homoeopathic school seems to 
be in favor of the higher potencies ; thus H. C. Allen, M. D., 
says it will cure more quickly in the attenuations above the 



112 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

30th than below. Schiissler recommends also its external 
application in such diseases as the stings of insects, likewise 
as a gargle or spray in catarrhal affections. 

Relationship. — Compare Kali sulph. and Kali mur. in 
catarrhs of the Eustachian tubes and tympanum. In gastric 
and intestinal conditions compare Natr. sulph. In headache 
of young girls during menses compare Calc. phos. and Ferr. 
phos. Headache during catamenia, Kali sulph. when metror- 
rhagic symptoms preponderate. When the menses are scanty, 
Natr. mur. In bites of insects Ledum comes nearest, but 
Ferr. phos. and Kali phos. have also been successfully em- 
ployed. Natr. mur. has as a close analogue Lycop., which 
will often be needed to supplement its action. Natr. mur. 
regulates moisture exudation from the circulation, especially 
when from the arterial system, while Natr. sulph. is more in- 
dicated when from the venous system. Complementary drugs : 
Apis and Arg. nit. Natr. mur. often precedes Sepia and 
Sulph. in chronic diseases. For the excessive use of salt in 
food give Phosph. For the bad effects of sea-bathing Ars. 
For the bad results of cauterization of any mucous surface 
with nitrate of silver, Natrum is the antidote. For dryness 
of mucous membranes compare Graphite, Alumina, Bryonia. 
In ranula, Ambra. 



NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms. — Sodium Phosphate. Natri Phosphas. Phos- 
phas Natricus. Sodse Phosphas. Sodii Phosphas. 

Common Name — Phosphate of Soda. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na 2 HP0 4 , i2H 2 0. Sp. 
gravity, 1.55. It is prepared by neutralizing orthophosphoric 
acid with carbonate of sodium, and is also made from bone- 
ash. It crystallizes in large, transparent, monoclinic prisms 
containing twelve molecules of water of crystallization. It 
has a mild, cooling, saline taste. It is soluble in two parts of 
hot and in six of cold water. It is insoluble in alcohol. So- 
lutions are slightly alkaline. 



NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. II3 

Preparation. — The pure phosphate of soda is triturated as 
directed under Class VII, American Homoeopathic Pharmaco- 
poeia. (Should be kept well corked.) 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — This salt is found in the 
blood, muscles, nerve and brain-cells, as well as in the inter- 
cellular fluids. Through the presence of this salt, lactic acid 
is decomposed into carbonic acid and water. It absorbs the 
carbonic acid, taking up two molecules for every molecule of 
itself, and carries it to the lungs, where the oxygen of the air 
sets the carbonic acid free in exchange for oxygen, which 
latter is taken up by the iron contained in the blood corpus- 
cles. Natrum phos. is the remedy for conditions arising from 
excess of lactic acid. It prevents inspissation of the bile and 
mucus with crystallization of cholesterin in the gall duct and 
will thus remove the cause of many cases of jaundice, hepatic 
colic, bilious headache and imperfect assimilation of fats from 
lack of bile. It is useful in podagra, gout, as well as in acute 
and chronic articular rheumatism, being thus a remedy for 
the so-called acid diathesis. 

The role of this salt in the normal economy, according to 
Moleschott and Schiissler, largely consists in the catalysis of 
lactic acid in the blood, thus purifying that fluid organ from 
this effete product of muscular function, which transforms 
stored glycogen into the acid. The liver is the prime and 
master laboratory of the animal body. It is essential to both 
the nitrogenous and the hydro-carbonaceous transformations, 
to the renewal and the depuration of the blood, to the pro- 
duction of glycogen and grape sugar from starchy and saccha- 
rine food, and to the higher oxidation of uric acid, and other 
effete tissue principles, into urea, ready for elimination by the 
kidney, and by bile-formation contributes to the intestinal 
work. When inert, this organ falls short of this extensive 
function ; when overactive, it exceeds it, and overproductions 
appear with symptomatic effects. These functions are prin- 
cipally due to cell-action. There are two classes of functional 
or parenchymatous cells ; the biliary, spread out as epithelium 
in the capillary branches of the ducts, in intimate relation 



114 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

with the vessels of the liver and likewise with the remaining 
set of functional cells — viz : those of the hepatic acini, also 
lying in intimate relation to the blood vessels and to the 
biliary capillaries, with their glandular epithelium. This 
double duty belongs to the large cells of the acini — viz : the 
formation of glycogen and the formation of uric acid. In 
addition, the old red blood-globules are here in the liver, but 
in the portal system of veins, now become capillary in the 
acini, are finally disintegrated, and the new-formed globules 
perfected. All of these varied functions, separate as they 
are, undoubtedly assist each other, furnishing necessary 
chemical exchanges, etc. The glycogen is believed to be 
mainly carried away in the blood-current, to be stored in the 
muscular tissues, furnishing motor energy thereto, and being 
chemically split into two parts of lactic acid. This acid aids 
in later vital functions of the body, and is at last transformed 
into carbonic acid and water, while circulating in the blood. 
This transformation takes place through the presence in the 
blood of phosphate of soda — Natr. phos. — and by a catalytic 
action of this salt. Any deficiency in this prevents this 
chemical change, and the lactic acid remains as such. An 
acid state of the system now prevails ; rheumatism, dyspepsia, 
intestinal troubles, etc., ensue. According to Schiissler, by 
the administration of molecular doses of this drug, this 
catalytic action is at once restored — the acid state ceases, and 
the rheumatic and other symptoms subside. (J. C. Morgan, 
M. D.) 

Uric acid is kept soluble in the blood by the presence of 
the phosphate of soda and the natural temperature of the 
blood. Whenever there is a deficiency of this salt, uric acid 
is combined with the soda, forming the urate of soda, an in- 
soluble salt and deposited near the points producing gout and 
acute inflammatory rheumatism. During an attack of acute 
grout, we find that the excretion of uric acid is diminished in 
proportion to the amount of the deposit of urate of soda 
around the points. 

Natrum phosph. serves to emulsify fatty acids ; it is there- 



NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. 115 

fore a remedy for all dyspeptic conditions traceable to fats, or 
such as are aggravated by their use. Besides combining with 
these acids the phosphate of soda appropriates molecules of 
albumen, which acts bio-chemically like an acid. 

The white blood corpuscles, leucocytes or lymph corpuscles 
carry molecules of fat and peptones, which latter are modified 
albuminoids, from the intestinal walls to the blood and thence 
to the tissues. They do this by virtue of their active move- 
ments. From the walls of the intestinal tract the passage of 
the leucocytes, now laden with peptones, is a direct one, while 
those carrying the fat molecules reach the goal by an indirect 
way — namely, through the thoracic duct. Finally they reach 
the tissues through the walls of the capillaries. Here, after 
the peptones are retransformed into albuminoids, they are 
deposited and become material for the growth of young cells 
which are formed by division. 

If the progress of the leucocytes carrying the fat molecules 
is stopped in their course through the lymphatic glands, skin, 
bones or lungs, phlegmonous and glandular inflammations, 
and swellings take place as well as tubercular conditions of 
these organs and tissues. 

Since these stagnated leucocytes contain albumen and fat, 
their fatty degeneration is rendered possible. So long as this 
has not actually taken place, Natrum phosph. possesses the 
power to free the leucocytes and thereby again enabling them 
to carry on their specific function. This it does by its two 
properties — that of emulsifying fats even if but a trace of a 
fatty acid is present and its capacity to take up peptonic 
molecules.

toms, vol. viii. 



120 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Administration. — Schiissler recommends the 6x, either in 
trituration or in dilution. It may also be used as an injection 
in worm troubles. Dr. Morgan prefers infrequent doses of the 
30th potency. The higher and highest potencies have also 
been employed with success. 

Relationship. — As a remedy for scrofulosis with similar 
" acid " symptoms compare Calc. carb. In gastric catarrhal 
affections it is to be compared with Calcar., Kali carb., Nux, 
Coccul., Car bo, Carbol. ac. As a remedial agent for chil- 
dren, for whom Natr. phos. is pre-eminently the remedy, 
where these acid conditions of stomach and bowels are fre- 
quent, compare Rheum, where the whole body, but especially 
the stool of the little patient, smells sour. It is interesting to 
note the association of the peculiar Natr. phos. gastric symp- 
toms, so frequently verified clinically, and the symptoms of 
gout developed in the provings. Remembering the peculiar 
gouty dyspepsia, we may have in Natr. phos. a most useful 
remedy. Compare here Colchic, Bens, ac, Guaiac, Lycop., 
Sulphur. In itching all over, compare Dolichos, Urtica, Sul- 
phur, etc. 

NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 

Synonyms. — Sodium Sulphate. Sodae Sulphas. Sodii 
Sulphas. 

Common Name. — Glauber's Salt. Sulphate of Soda. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na,S0 4 , ioH 2 0. It oc- 
curs rather abundantly in nature : sea water, saline springs, 
Russian salt lakes, etc. It is prepared by the action of sul- 
phuric acid on common salt and purified by recrystallization. 
It forms large, colorless, transparent, oblique, rhombic or six- 
sided prisms, having a cooling, bitter, saline taste. They 
effloresce in warm air at 30 ° C. They melt in their own 
water of crystallization, melting also freely at 33 C; above 
or below that temperature the solubility decreases. 

Preparation. — The pure sulphate of sodium is triturated as 
directed under Class VII, American Homoeopathic Pharmaco- 
poeia. 



NATRUM SUI^PHURICUM. 121 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — The sulphuric acid formed 
by the oxidation of the albuminoids would destroy the tissues 
were it united in its nascent state with carbonates, by which 
the carbonic acid is set free. This salt does not appear in the 
cells, only in the intercellular fluids. It aids and regulates the 
excretion of superfluous water — e.g., that which arises from 
the decomposition of lactic acid with the phosphate of sodium, 
cedemas, etc. Disturbance of the molecular motion of this 
salt prevents the elimination of such water from the tissues as 
is produced by oxidation of organic substances. 

The action of Natrum sulph. is opposite to that of Natrum 
mur. Both have the property to attract water, but for oppo- 
site purposes. Natrum mur. attracts the water which is to be 
used in the organism, while Natrum sulph. attracts the water 
due to retrograde metamorphosis and secures its elimination 
from the organism. 

Natrum ?nur. furthers the division of cells for purposes of 
increase. Natrum sulph. takes away water from worn-out 
leucocytes, and thereby accomplishes their disintegration. It 
is, therefore, the remedy for leucaemia. It irritates epithelial 
cells and nerves, as will be seen in the following facts : 

In consequence of the induced activity by the Natrum sulph. 
of the epithelial cells lining the uriniferous tubes, superfluous 
water, holding in solution or suspension products of metamor- 
phosis is sent to the kidneys. This leaves the organism by 
way of the ureter and bladder as urine. 

Natrtim sulph., by stimulating the epithelial cells of the bile 
ducts, pancreas and intestinal canal, furthers the normal secre- 
tion of these organs. It also has the function to stimulate the 
nerves of these parts. 

If the sensory nerves of the bladder are not stimulated by 
Natrum sulph. the impulse to urinate is not reported to con- 
sciousness and involuntary urination — enuresis — results. If 
the motor nerves of the detrusor are not irritated, suppression 
of urine results. 

In consequence of an irregular action of Natrum sulph. on 



122 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

the nerves supplying the gall apparatus, we may have an in- 
crease or diminution of that secretion. 

If a diabetes mellitus is caused by a lessened secretion of 
pancreatic fluid, Natrum sulph. may be the remedy required. 

If the motor nerves of the colon are not influenced suffi- 
ciently by Natrum sulph. constipation and flatulent colic re- 
sult. 

If in consequence of disturbed molecular motion of Natrum 
sulph. the elimination of superfluous water from the intercell- 
ular spaces is rendered tardy, hydrsemia results. 

The hydrsemia and the functional disturbances within the 
gall secreting apparatus are the conditions for the develop- 
ment of the following diseases : 

Intermittent and bilious fevers, influenza, vomiting of bile, 
bilious diarrhoea, oedema, oedematous erysipelas, vesicular 
eruptions, filled with yellow serum ; moist eczema, herpes, 
sycotic growths, catarrhs, with yellowish-green or green secre- 
tions. 

Persons suffering from hydrsemia are worse in damp 
weather, near water, in close, damp dwellings, cellars, etc., 
and are better under opposite conditions. 

General Action. — Like other alkaline sulphates, an active 
cathartic. In addition, however, it exhibits a marked simi- 
larity to the uric acid diathesis in general, and is certainly a 
valuable remedy in combating numerous phases of that poly- 
morphous malady. (T. F. Allen.) Gastric bilious conditions, 
accumulation of water in the areolar tissues, yellow, watery 
secretions on the skin, or yellowish scales forming an eruption 
of vesicles. Excessive secretion of bile, liver affections, gravel, 
sand in the urine, diabetes, gout, figwarts, etc. The chief 
characteristic is a dirty greenish-gray or greenish-brown coating 
on the root of the tongue and aggravation from lying on the left 
side. Natr. sulph. combines in a measure the wonderful effects

drogenoid constitution and sycotic dyscrasia, constitutional 
conditions in children that result in chest catarrhs and asth- 
matic complaints. (Kent.) The morbid alterations caused by 
Natr. sulpk. begin to be observable near the end of the ileum 
and in the lower part of the colon. In the latter the follicles 
appear swollen, with a bright red margin of capillaries ; the 
mucous membrane between is either pale or shows inconsider- 
able dentritic injections. In the lower part of the ileum the 
mucous membrane shows a saturated, bright red coloring, 
mostly equal. It is the chief ingredient in the Carlsbad 
water, so largely used for its action on the liver ; also con- 
tained in the cold springs of the Isle of Wight, of Piillna, 
Marienbad and Franzensbad. 

Sulphate of Sodium as a Hemostatic. — Reverdin, in a paper 
read before the French Surgical Association, advocates the 
employment of the sulphate of sodium as a hemostatic. He 
has employed it a number of times successfully ; it is used in 
small doses (10 centigrams — gr. i}4) every hour, in danger- 
ous capillary hemorrhage either of spontaneous or traumatic 
origin. As an example, after the removal of a subcutaneous 
benign tumor there followed a hemorrhage which resisted all 
treatment for eight weeks. The same was true of other cases 
of traumatic origin, and also in cases of menorrhagia. 

This remedy was used by Kussmaul, and is apparently pop- 
ular in the North of Germany in cases of hemophilia. 

By experimental and clinical observation the author deter- 
mined that this drug should be given by the mouth only, as it 
is ineffectual when used in subcutaneous injections.

Homoeopathic Data. — Proved first by Schretter in 1832, and 
by Nenning. The best arrangement of symptoms appeared 
in Hering's Materia Meddca, transferred with some additions 
to Alletfs Encyclopedia. But the credit of greatly enlarging 
our philosophical conception and therapeutic application of 
this drug belongs to Grauvogl, who showed the correspond- 
ence of this drug to the so-called hydrogenoid constitution 
and chronic effects of gonorrhoeal infection. His observations 
have been repeatedly verified. 

Administration. — In lead colic low, ix to 2x, and often. 
Schiissler recommends the 6x trituration. Grauvogl used 
mainly the 2x to 6x potency, while the 30 and 200 have been 
used by Hering and others. 

Relationship. — Natr. sulph. has many symptoms in common 
both with the Natrums and Sitlphur. In the eye symptoms 
compare Graphit., which also has the extreme aggravation 
from light in chronic eye affections. In the cough, Bryon. 
corresponds to Natr. sulph., in the all-gone sensation in chest, 
soreness and need of steadying the chest, hence relief by pres- 
sure ; but Natr. sulph. has much more the muco-purulent, 
thick, ropy, yellowish-green expectoration, hence in later 
stages, Bryon. more to the earlier, when cough is more irrit- 
able, with much rawness, constriction, burning and sensation 
of tearing in chest. In asthma compare also Silicea as a 
radical remedy. In gonorrhoea Natr. sulph. competes with 
Thuja and Mercur. It is painless with Natr. sulph., and the 
discharge keeps up a yellowish-green, thick discharge. Com- 
plementary to Thuja for deep-seated sycotic constitutional

affections, or where a sycotic condition is engrafted on a 
hydrogenoid base. In polyuria, Fermm phosph., Phosph. acid 
precede it. Compare Stillingia in hip disease. 



SILICEA. 

Synonyms. — Silica. Silicea Tera. Silex. Decarbonized 
white pebble. Acidium Silicicum. The proper name is 
Silicic Oxide. 

Common Names. — Pure Flint or Quartz. Silicious Earth> 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Si0 2 . Prepared by fusing 
silica and carbonate of sodium ; dissolving residue filtered and 
precipitated by hydrochloric acid. It is a white powder, hav- 
ing neither taste nor smell. 

Preparation. — Pure Silicea is triturated according to Class 
VII, American Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia. Dr. P. Wilde 
uses preferably the silicate of soda known as " liquid glass," 
which is freely soluble in water. (See "Administration.") 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Although this inorganic salt 
is found very abundantly throughout the vegetable kingdom, 
especially in grasses, grain, palms, etc., it is found compara- 
tively little in the animal kingdom, notably so in the higher 
orders, the vertebrae. Traces of Silicea, however, are found 
in the ashes of blood, bile or urine, and larger quantities (7 
per cent.) in the white of egg, and even more in the ashes of 
the epidermis, hair and nails. It is also found in the connec- 
tive tissue, and hence its action on the spinal cord, brain and 
nerves must be referred to the investing membrane, the con- 
nective tissue, of the nerve-fibres. Disturbance of the func- 
tion of the Silicea molecules causes a turgescence of the cells 
of the connective tissues involved. This swelling may re- 
main stationary for a time, then disappear or occasion sup- 
puration. 

General Action. — Silicea acts more upon the organic sub- 
stances of the body, involving prominently bones, joints, 
glands, skin and mucous surfaces, producing malnutrition 
9 



130 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

and corresponding to the scrofulous diathesis. Its action is 
deep and long-lasting. It is especially suited to imperfectly 
nourished constitutions, owing to deficient assimilation. 

It is the remedy for ailments attended with pus-formation, 
and is closely related to all fistulous burrowings. Wherever 
pus is formed in an inflamed part of connective tissue or skin, 
Silicea may be used. Deeply-seated scrofulous cachexia and 
some forms of septic infections (vaccine) find in it a valuable 
general remedy. Like Calc. sulph., Silicea corresponds to the 
process of suppuration, with the following distinguishing fea- 
tures : Silicea ripens abscess, since it promotes suppuration. 
Calc. sulph., by restraining: the suppurative process, heals sup- 
purating wounds. As long as infiltration, which can only dis- 
appear by suppuration, lasts, Silicea is the remedy, and should 
be continued until all the infiltrated parts have disappeared. 
If then the wound fails to heal, give Calc. stdph. Ailments 
affecting the periosteum. Deep-seated suppurations, pus thick 
and yellow ; also in certain reflex affections connected with 
the nerves. After suppuration has ceased to be active, but 
the process lingers and the pus forms chronic depots, small or 
large, fistulous or otherwise ; also, where the general organism 
is both irritable and weak, and the nervous system is easily 
aroused to exhausting agitation (as Dunham says, it is contra- 
indicated by general nerve torpor), this is a specific remedy. 
In localized exhaustion, when the symptoms resemble paraly- 
sis — e. £-., rectal distention, dilated and irritable heart, great 
general debility, as after lying-in — it should always be thought 
of. In general hypersesthesia and exaggerated reflexes. 

Silicea has also the power to reabsorb a bloody or sero- 
albuminous exudate, existing within the tissues by means of 
the lymphatics. Here it often follows Calc. phos. 

Silicea cures chronic gouty rheumatic affections by means 
of its stimulating effects of the involved connective tissue cells, 
compelling these to throw off the accumulated urates 
through the lymphatics. 

Silicea can restore suppressed foot-sweats, and in this way 
be an indirect remedy for diseases resulting from suppression 



SIUCEA. 131 

of foot-sweat, for instance : Amblyopia, cataract, paralyses, etc. 
If the cells of any part of the connective tissue show a lack 
of Silicea molecules, they atrophy in consequence.

Homoeopathic Data. — This drug was proved by Hahnemann. 
The first record of it appeared in the Chronic Diseases, vol. 
iii, in 1828. 

Administration. — Schiissler recommends the 6x and the i2x 
potencies, but in the homoeopathic school the most brilliant 
results have followed the use of the higher attenuations (see 
Clinical Cases, Part III). Its external application is also 
recommended by Schiissler and others, in carbuncles, ulcers, 
ulceration of womb, abscess, ozsena as a spray, etc. Massive 
and repeated doses are indicated in scrofulous, glandular 
swellings without suppurations. But where there is actual 
suppuration, or even a tendency thereto, high potencies (30th) 
help in chronic cases, one dose daily, or even less often, in 
subacute cases, morning and evening — in acute cases from 
two to three hours. An effective method of using Silicea 
locally is to make a strong decoction of hay. This contains 
a large percentage of Silicea. The silicate of soda should be 
given in free solution. Percy Wilde, M. D., who introduced 
this valuable preparation of Silicea, gives three to four drops 
three times daily, and each dose is given in one-third of a 
tumbler of water, or, better still, in milk. The effect of the 
remedy must be watched, as it is apt to cause active changes 
in the tumor within forty-eight hours (see Tumors, Part III). 

Relationship. — In suppuration compare Calcarea sulph., the 
difference being that Silicea promotes suppuration and brings 



SILICEA. 137 

the process to maturity, whereas Calc. sulph. heals the process 
by checking it and promoting the healthy granulation. For 
results from impure vaccination we have, besides Silicea and 
Thuja, Kali mur., which, according to Schiissler, is the one 
remedy necessary. The Silicea headache is similar to Spigel., 
Paris, Picric acid, Coccul., Gelsem. and Sanguin. In fistula 
lachrymalis compare Natr. mur. and Petrol. In whitlow and 
ingrowing toe-nail, when Silicea fails, Graphit. often succeeds. 
In caries and periostitis compare Asa/., Graphit., Conium, 
Platina mur. In tabes compare Alumina, RtUa. Silicea is a 
chronic Pulsat.; it corresponds to the chronic form of such 
diseases as Pulsat. cures when acute. Pulsat. grows on sandy 
bottom, and probably contains Silicea as one of its constitu- 
ents. In bone diseases it resembles closely Mercur., but it 
should not be given after Mercur., as it may much complicate 
the case. (Gilchrist.) 

In Moleschott's Kreislauf des Lebens, he says that the ashes 
of Eqtiiset. hyem. consist nearly wholly of Silicea. The cures 
of bladder troubles reported by Equiset. are probably due to 
the Silicea it contains. The mineral springs of Bareges, in 
the Pyrenees, contain an unusually large amount of Silicea 
in a soluble form, and this spa has been singled out by em- 
pirical experience as most valuable in the class of cases for 
which Silicea is homceopathically indicated. (Percy Wilde, 
M. D.) 

In labyrinthine vertigo compare Natr. salicy. In ulceration 
around the nails, Psorinum is invaluable. Allied remedies : 
Fluoric acid, Picric acid, Hypericum, Ruta, Mercur., etc. 



PART Til. 

Therapeutical Application of the Twelve 
Tissue Remedies. 



ABSCESS. 



Ferrum phos. — This is the first remedy to be given in all 
cases of boils, carbuncles, felons, or any suppurative process, 
where there are present fever, heat, throbbing pain and con- 
gestion in the parts. If given early, this remedy will often 
abort suppuration. 

Kali mur. — Is indicated in the second stage of boils, car- 
buncles, felons, abscess, etc., where there is swelling, but as 
yet no pus formation ; especially is it indicated in abscesses of 
the breast, with the above characteristics. It may be given in 
carbuncles, boils, and other suppurative processes to abort 
swelling before matter forms. It may also be used as a lotion, 
applied externally on lint. 

Natrum sulph. — Fistulous abscesses of years' standing, dis- 
charging watery pus, surrounded by a broad bluish border. 
Burrowing abscesses. A single dose of the 3d trituration gives 
everything a favorable turn ; the abscesses collapse, the fistu- 
lous canals dry up. Paronychia, inflammation or suppuration 
around roots of nails. 

Silicea. — When suppuration appears this remedy should be 
exhibited at once. It greatly assists the suppurative process, 
causing the tumor rapidly to ripen, and often to break spon- 
taneously. It is to follow Kali mur. in those cases where pus 
has commenced to form, as in mammary abscess, especially if 
Kali mtir. has failed to abort the suppuration. After the ab- 
scess breaks or is opened, this remedy should be continued as 



ABSCESS. 139 

long- as infiltration remains. Silicea is also useful in blind 
boils. In whitlow Silicea assists and controls the formation 
of pus and stimulates the growth of new nails. The use of 
Silicea in all cases of commencing whitlow cannot be overes- 
timated. A dose every two hours will usually cure the felon 
in twenty-four hours. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Calcarea sulph. — This remedy follows Silicea well in sup- 
purative processes, when, notwithstanding the absence of in- 
filtration, the suppuration continues, owing to the torpidity 
of the affected tissues. It is useful in boils, gathered breasts, 
whitlow or felon, when they are discharging. It will abort 
felons and furuncles in the i2x. (W. E. Iy.) The presence 
of pus with a vent is an indication for its use. The distin- 
guishing features between this remedy and Silicea, in ab- 
scesses, are these : Silicea ripens abscesses, since it promotes 
suppuration ; Calcarea sulph. heals suppurating wounds, since 
it restrains the suppurative process. It lacks the fetor of 
Silicea. This remedy is similar to Hepar sulph., but it acts 
more deeply and intensely. Painful abscess about anus. A 
most useful remedy in gumboils. 

Kali phos. — This remedy is indicated in abscesses, carbun- 
cles, felons and other suppurative processes when there are 
adynamic symptoms and the suppurative process becomes un- 
healthy. The pus is ichorous, bloody, offensive and dirty- 
looking. In mastitis when the pus is brownish, dirty and 
foul. 

Calcarea fluor. — When the suppurative process affects the 
bone, or where there are hard, callous edges to the wound, 
then this remedy will be found effective. In felons a lotion 
on lint externally has been found to do good. "It is an in- 
valuable remedy in pelvic abscess proceeding from caries of 
some bone." (Southwick.) "In old cases of fistulous sin- 
uses of the mammae I have found this remedy especially valu- 
able." (J. W. Ward, M. D.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Patient had taken a slight cold which settled in the gums and the hard 
and soft palate, and a gumboil began to develop just back of the upper in- 



140 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

cisors. Gave Ferritin phos. with some relief, but the boil seemed determined 
to suppurate. It continued to swell and grew very painful. After reading 
an article on Calc. sulph. wherein the writer stated, "for gumboils of 
the teeth it is the only remedy I ever use," I concluded to try it, and ac- 
cordingly took the 3X in five grain doses, three or four times a day for two 
days. There was immediate improvement; pain grew less, and, under occa- 
sional doses of Calc. sulph. the boil absorbed and disappeared. (M. F. R. ) 

A lady, Mrs. B., suffering from swelling of the leg below the knee, had 
been attended some months by her doctor, who had poulticed it, and had 
opened it with a lancet; but there was no discharge. She was unable to 
walk. It was then painted with iodine without effect; then bandaged to 
reduce the excessively hard swelling, and cold water poured over it thrice 
a day. Some parts were blue-looking on removing the bandage. It felt 
cold and very hard, and looked as if ready to burst; almost twice its usual 
size. Warm fomentations and Kali mur., taken internally and applied ex- 
ternally, cured the leg in three weeks. (From Schiissler. ) 

Lilly, aged 6, daughter of the above lady, had an ulcerated tooth with a 
well developed gumboil as an accessory. Gumboil would not go away, and 
wishing to see what the Tissue Salts would do for it I gave her a box con- 
taining about 125 tablets of Calc. sulph. 3X. They should have lasted her 
ten days or more, but they were sweet and, childlike, she could not resist, 
and so the box full was gone in three days. And so also was the gumboil 
and ulcerated tooth. (M. F. R. ) 

In August, 1877, a young man, who had suffered from sciatica some years 
ago, and had been in the habit of having subcutaneous injections of mor- 
phia, developed a boil on the seat. This discharged freely, and would not 
heal. When at last it seemed to be healed and was comparatively well, the 
patient took cold. Suppuration began again, and this time the discharge 
was excessive. His mother became alarmed, as he was very weak and had 
no appetite. His sleep was disturbed, and he felt a constant thirst. I pre- 
scribed Silicea — a dose every morning on an empty stomach. After one 
week the mother was able to furnish the very favorable report: "The dis- 
charge of matter has been reduced so much that at one time it seemed gone 
altogether. The great thirst has left him, and his appetite has returned; his 
sleep is sound, and the shivery, chilly feeling he had has completely gone." 
Silicea has here furnished a brilliant demonstration of its power over sup- 
puration, with its characteristic accompanying symptoms. ( Dr. Goullon, Jr. ) 

A dressmaker, in her busiest season, to her dismay, got a felon on the 
right thumb. Ferrum phos}' 1 in water, every three hours, promptly re- 
lieved and she supposed cured it. She used it vigorously, and within three 
days it reappeared with greatly increased pain and hard swelling. Kali 
mur}' 1 finished the cure at once, a single drop of pus appearing beneath the 
cuticle and escaped when snipped with the scissors. ( J. C. Morgan, M. D. ) 

An old gentleman came into my office with tenonitis of the second pha- 
langes. The whole hand was full of thick, yellow pus; had been sore for 
three months; sleep was a stranger to him; he had been poulticed, lanced 
and morphined, until the physicians (allopathic) had decided to remove the 
finger — in fact he came to town for that purpose. His physician being out 



ADDISON'S DISEASE. 141 

of the city he came into my office to have me look at it. I told him to let 
the finger remain on the hand; that although the flexors were all rotten — 
eaten off — and the periosteum inflamed, yet the finger could be cured. I 
injected Eucalyptus into the orifice, and it permeated the whole finger and 
up into the hand. After cleansing the sores I wrapped it up comfortably 
tight and put him on Silicea 6 , a dose every three hours; nothing else was 
given him; the Eucalyptus dressing was continued every day, and in four 
weeks the finger was restored to its natural size and shape; but the flexors 
being all destroyed he could not flex the fingers. The Silicea, however, 
restored all the connective tissue-elements, and the man was well satisfied 
with the cure. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Silicea has proved an excellent remedy. Within the last month I was 
able to cure a young lady, aet. 16; I did not see her myself. The mother 
came to me and told me her daughter had been suffering for the past few 
months from her right foot. The medical men treating her declared that 
the foot must be amputated. It was fearfully swollen; the discharge of 
matter was excessive. Her leg was almost bent to a right angle at the knee- 
joint, and could absolutely not be stretched out. I advised her to give up 
all internal as well as external remedies, and prescribed Silicea, to be taken 
once daily. Three months later the patient came herself, walking without 
any assistance. The foot was almost completely healed, with only a slight 
discharge of matter. Thus I succeeded in a case of discharge of matter from 
the ear, which had been treated for a long time ineffectually, and caused the 
patient severe pain day and night. This case was also cured with Silicea. 
(From Schiissler. ) 

ADDISON'S DISEASE. 

Natrum mur. — When nutrition is greatly impaired, tension 
and heat in the region of the kidneys ; earthy complexion, 
brown spots upon the back of the hands, excessive mental and 
physical prostration ; trembling of legs, dim vision, want of 
appetite, nausea, vomiting, loathing of meat, constipation. 
Aversion to motion and labor ; frequent yawning and stretch- 
ing ; cold extremities, depression of mind with irritability ; 
vertigo on rising or on trying to walk. 

AMENORRHEA. 

Suppression of the Menses. 

Kali mur. — Sluggish liver ; white coated tongue, and gland- 
ular inactivity. 

Kali phos. — Suppression of flow with depressed spirits, las- 
situde and debility, where chest difficulties appear as a result 
of suppression. 



142 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Kali sulph. — Scanty or suppressed menses, with weight and 
fulness in abdomen. 

Natrum mur. — In young girls, when the menses do not 
appear, or when scanty and at long intervals. 

Calcarea phos. — Amenorrhoea in anaemic patients. 

CLINICAL C&SES. 

i . Case of a young girl whose menses had not appeared for several months,, 
and who began to have chest difficulties as a consequence thereof. Kali 
phos.' M , dose night and morning. The menses soon reappeared, and in four 
weeks she had no more chest pains. 

2. A girl, set. 22, who always had scanty menses, which during the past 
year had completely ceased, and caused head and eye troubles, received, 
May 12, 18S7, Kali phos., six powders. After using it six days the menses, 
reappeared with violent headache and lasted seven days, and her other 
troubles gradualh' disappeared. (Monabsblatter. ) 

AFjEMIA. 

Calcarea phos. — This remedy acts by supplying new blood- 
cells. Pains and cramps dependent on anaemic conditions. 
Waxy appearance of the skin due to anaemia. Chlorosis, 
complexion waxy, greenish-white, with constant headache 
and ringing in ears. Schiissler gives this remedy alone for 
chlorosis. 

" A fine constitutional remedy in old cases of cerebral anae- 
mia where nutrition is manifestly defective." (Arndt.) 

" Pernicious anaemia, vertigo when getting up or on rising 
from sitting ; eyes misty ; epistaxis, point of the nose cold ; 
pale face, sallow, yellowish, earthy ; cold sweat on the face ; 
body cold ; foul taste and smell ; tongue white, furred at the 
root most in the morning ; nausea and vomiturition ; empty, 
sinking sensation at the epigastrium ; watery looseness of the 
bowels, with urging after stools day or night ; urine with floc- 
culent sediment ; menorrhagia, blood either bright-red or too 
dark, palpitation with anxiety, followed by trembling weak- 
ness, particularly of the calves, weariness and the greatest 
weakness." (Arndt.) 

This remedy is also useful in leucaemia, or excess of white 
corpuscles in the blood after exhausting diseases. 



ANAEMIA. 143 

Ferrumphos. — Follows Calcarea phos. as soon as improve- 
ment of the general health sets in. There is a want of red 
blood in the system. This remedy, by its power of attracting 
oxygen, colors the new blood-cells red and enriches them after 
they have been supplied by Calcarea phos. Schiissler in a 
recent letter says : " Iron, which enters into the formation of 
young blood-cells, is never absent in the blood-serum of chloro- 
tics. Therefore I have lately abandoned iron, which I recom- 
mended in the first editions of my Therapeutics for chlorosis 
and other ansemic conditions." 

Kali mur. — This remedy may have to be given in anaemia, 
as a secondary remedy or intercurrent, if such symptoms as 
eczema or eruptions of the skin coexist. 

Kali phos. — Cerebral anaemia, anaemic conditions of the 
brain, causing undue nervousness. Poverty of the blood from 
influences which continually depress the mind and nervous 
system. This remedy also cures the leucaemia, which is in- 
duced by long-continued disorders. " Spinal anaemia, from 
exhausting diseases, such as diphtheria, reflex paraplegia, 
with aching pains aggravated by rest, but' most manifest on 
beginning to move about." (Arndt.) 

Natrum mur. — In anaemic conditions, where the blood is 
thin and watery ; in chlorotic conditions, with an almost 
habitual feeling of coldness in the back ; chlorosis in young 
girls, with dead, dirty skin, frequent palpitation, oppression 
and anxiety in the chest, morning cough, easily fatigued and 
prostrated, with the characteristic tongue, etc.; malarious ca- 
chexia, from ague and Quinine, sallow complexion or very 
pale, pressure and distension of the stomach, constipation 
with contraction of the anus, terrible sadness. 

Natrum phos. — Spinal anaemia, paralytic weakness of the 
lower extremities, with general prostration, heaviness and sen- 
sation of fatigue, especially after a short walk or ascending 
steps ; legs give way, so as to be unable to progress farther. 

Natrum sulph. — Hydraemia, sycosis, hydrogenoid constitu- 
tion of the body, depending upon dampness of weather or 
dwelling in damp houses ; sycosis and hydraemia. (I^ilienthal.) 



144 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Silicea. — L,eucorrhcea instead of menses ; attacks of momen- 
tary blindness or obscuration of vision. Anaemia in infants, 
thin, delicate and puny, with tendency to rickets. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. S. Powell Burdick furnished us with two cases of anaemia, both in 
young ladies, aet. 19 and 21. Both presented the following characteristic 
symptoms: Pale, anaemic countenance, great exhaustion, depression of 
spirits, violent attacks of frontal headache extending to the occiput. The 
youngest had suffered from this condition for six or seven years, and re- 
ceived treatment from several physicians, homoeopathic and allopathic, 
receiving from the latter large quantities of iron, without any benefit what- 
ever. The eldest had also been anaemic for several years. All their symp- 
toms were promptly relieved, the color returning even to rosy cheeks : the 
ears, which were formerly pale and almost translucent, became reddish and 
natural in color. The remedies employed were first Calcarea phos. vl , for ten 
days or two weeks, followed by Ferrum phos. 1 ' 2 , for two weeks, then return- 
ing to the Calcarea phos. again. About six months sufficed to cure perma- 
nently in each case. 

Young lady, aet. 17, became anaemic and chlorotic, after long continuance 
at school, becoming so debilitated that she could attend no longer, had no 
appetite, and desired only to lie about the house, having no ambition to go 
anywhere or do anything. Her study made her head ache, and she had to 
give it up entirely; her menses were irregular, absent for months, then a flow 
varying in quantity. I gave her Calcarea phos. 6 , as principal remedy, giving 
also, at times, Ferrum phos . as well. After a few months she became well 
enough to resume her studies, and could walk anywhere she desired to go, 
and her color improved. (C. T. M.) 

NaTrum mur. — W. Rowley reports a case of anaemia due to the abuse of 
salt. The patient was emaciated, with general pallor; weakness; sensibility 
exalted; the menstrual flow never properly established. Bowels inclined to 
constipation. Has been in the habit of using salt to excess. In treating the 
case the use of salt was restricted, and one dose of Nat. mur. 200 given, 
which was followed by general improvement, the menstrual flow assuming 
its regular condition and strength, and general health being restored. 

ANEURISM. 

Calcarea fluor. — This disease at an early stage may be kept 
in check or reduced with the use of this, the chief remedy, in 
alternation with Ferrum phos n provided that the iodide of 
potash has not been taken. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy should be used early to estab- 
lish normal circulation and remove those complications due 
to excessive action of the heart ; can also be alternated with 



ANGINA PECTORIS. 1 45 

the preceding with good effect. In small aneurisms with a 
great deal of throbbing. 

ANGINA PECTORIS. 

Magnesia phos. — This remedy may be given for the neu- 
ralgic spasms of this disease. It should be given in hot 
water. Neuralgic constrictive pains in chest. It is also a 
remedy for " false " Angina. 

Ferrum phos. — If accompanied by flushed face, burning or 
diffused heat, this remedy may be alternated with the pre- 
ceding. 

Kali phos. — If the heart's action be weak or intermittent 
and if there be tendency to fainting this remedy should be 
used alternately with Magnesia phos. 

APHONIA. 

See also Hoarseness. 

Ferrum phos. — Huskiness after singing or speaking in 
singers or public speakers, with soreness in the larynx. 

ARTHRITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — At the commencement this remedy should 
be given in repeated doses when there are febrile symptoms 
present, and later on in the disease it may be given as an 
intercurrent. The joints are painful on moving, motion sets 
up and increases the pain. Tenalgia crepitans. 

Kali mur. — In acute arthritis, for the swelling or when the 
tongue is coated white. It may be alternated with Ferrum 
phos. Movement aggravates the pains. It is useful espe- 
cially after Ferrum phos. Tenalgia crepitans. 

Natrum mur. — Chronic arthritis, joints crack (if tongue 
and other symptoms correspond, acts probably by increasing 
the eliminations of the urate of sodium). Synovitis, gout, 
sore hamstrings (verified). 

Natrum phos. — Acute gout (after Ferr. phos.). Chronic 
gout, profuse, sour-smelling sweat. Rheumatic arthritis, espe- 
10 



146 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

cially of finger joints. Urine dark red. Pains go suddenly 
to heart ; sore hamstrings. 

Magnesia phos. — Useful as an intercurrent remedy for the 
pains (violent). The keynote is excruciating pains, spas- 
modic in character. 

Kali sulph. — In rheumatic arthritis where the pains shift 
from one joint to another, aggravated by heat. Shifting and 
wandering rheumatic pains in the joints. Fungoid arthritis. 
Tumor albus, white swelling. 

Silicea. — Suppuration of the joints. 

Calcarea sulph. — Suppurative process in the joints. 

Katrum sulph. — In acute cases (attacks) of gout. This 
remedy should be alternated with Ferrum phos. In chronic 
gout it alone suffices. Gout in the feet, acute and chronic. 
Rheumatic arthritis, especially in joints of fingers, pains sud- 
denly go to heart, urine dark-red. 

Calcarea phos. — Rheumatic gout worse at night and in 
bad weather. Hygroma patellae. Hydrops genu. 

Calcarea fluor. — Gouty enlargements of the finger-joints. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Rheumatic pains in joints of the feet, aggravated by motions; Bryon. and 
Kali iod. having failed, Ferrum phos., 10th dil., cured. — Pop. Zeitschrift, 
Berlin, 1886. 

A shoemaker of Berlin was taken ill after catching cold. There was fever 
with violent pain in the right shoulder. The first visit I paid was on the 
third day after he had been taken ill; temperature high, pulse full and 
quick, thirst and loss of appetite. The right shoulder was very red and 
sensitive to the touch. He was not able to lie in his bed, as the pressure 
of the pillows was unbearable. He was lying on the sofa, supported with 
cushions, so that the shoulder should be free from pressure. I gave my 
patient Ferrum phos., as much as would cover a sixpenny piece. This 
was dissolved in a large glassful of water, and a teaspoonful of the solution 
given every hour. Improvement was felt even after a few hours. During 
the night the patient was able to sleep, and on the following day the fever 
abated; in three days he was able to move the arm pretty freely. In a few 
days longer he was entirely well. (Sulzer. — From Schiissler. ) 

ASTHMA. 

Kali phos. — Nervous asthma. In large and oft-repeated 
doses is the chief remedy for the breathing and depressed con- 



ASTHMA. 147 

dition of the nervous system. Hay asthma and hay fever. 
Asthma from the least food. 

Kali mur. — With gastric derangements. Tongue coated 
whitish or greenish, furred, and mucus white, and hard to 
cough up ; when this occurs with depression of breathing, 
alternate with Kali phos. Cardiac asthma with sensation as if 
heart and lungs were constricted. 

Natrum mur. — Asthma with profuse frothy mucus. In 
alternation with Kali phos.; ■ also when the tears stream down 
the face whenever he coughs. Spasmodic jerking with each 
inspiration. 

Calcarea phos. — Bronchial asthma intercurrently, secretion 
clear and tough. Child gets a suffocative attack on being 
lifted up from cradle. 

Calcarea fluor. — When specks or small lumps are brought 
up after much exertion. In alternation with Kali phos. 
These lumps being of yellowish mucus. Oppressed respira- 
tion. Epiglottis feels closed, or as if breathing through a 
thick substance. 

Magnesia phos. — In asthma where flatulence is trouble- 
some. Spasmodic nervous asthma. With paroxysmal dry tic 
tickling cough and difficulty in lying down. 

Kali sulph. — Asthma, bronchial, with yellow expectora- 
tion, worse in the warm season or in hot atmosphere. Much 
rattling of mucus. In asthma, when the patient's attacks 
come on after taking food, and his color becomes bad, or 
when there is rapid emaciation, or sunken eyes, Dr. Rapp 
recommends the Kali preparations. (Schiissler.) 

Natrum phos. — Asthma with thick yellow expectoration. 

Natrum sulph. — Very important as a remedy for the sycotic 
taint, of which asthma is often a manifestation. Attacks, 
especially in the morning about 4 or 5 o'clock, with cough 
and raising of glairy slime, expectoration greenish and copi- 
ous, and vomiting after eating ; always worse in damp, rainy 
weather, from living in basements or cellars. Asthma from 
digestive disturbances. L,oose evacuations on rising in morn- 
ing. Asthma in children. Asthmatic breathing in young 



148 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

people from a general bronchial catarrh, always worse from 
every change to damp weather. 

Silicea. — Breathing so difficult that the eyes protrude from 
their sockets ; doors and windows must be opened, always 
during a thunderstorm. As a constitutional remedy with 
Natrum sulph. for eradication of the disease. Asthma on a 
cachectic base. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

A gentleman in whom attacks of asthma were frequent, lasting ten days, 
with much labored breathing, can hardly talk, thick yellow expectoration 
with much rattling on chest — Kali sulph. 3X relieved at once. (M. E. 
Douglass, M. D. ) 

Female, married, set. 36, asthma, attack violent, greenish, purulent ex- 
pectoration, a loose evacuation immediately on rising for past two days ; 
Natrum sulph. 500 every two hours. Was enabled to lie down that night, 
respiration and cough much improved and expectoration easier. Next day 
practically well. 

Female, married, aet. 42, subject to attacks for years; expectoration green- 
ish and remarkably copious; Natrum sulph. every three hours. Improve- 
ment began after a few doses, expectoration becoming paler and less abund- 
ant, has felt better since than for years, and one noteworthy fact is that the 
expectoration stopped in a few doses, whereas under remedies given in pre- 
vious attacks it had continued for weeks, thus indicating that the Natrum 
sulph. had gotten at the root of the evil. (Wm. J. Guernsey, M. D.) 

Dr. O. H. Hall, of Zumbrota, Minn., reports a remarkable case of asthma 
having passed ' ' through the hands of all the physicians of whom he had 
ever heard," cured by Kali phos. 2x. Eighteen months had passed at time 
of writing without an attack. — Minn. Med. Monthly, Nov., 1886. 

Mr. C. has for years had attacks of asthmatic breathing, so marked as to 
herald his approach at some distance, and coming on after any unusual 
exertion. He is a tall, strong man, with no family history of lung trouble, 
albeit rather narrow-chested. Examination of the lungs during a period of 
remission disclosed no lesion or abnormal sounds, except coarse rales along 
the larger bronchi. In April, 1887, an especially severe attack, brought on 
by severe physical exertion, ' ' the worst spell " he has ever had, was promptly 
relieved by Natrum sulph.™, and occasional doses since have caused the 
attacks to disappear almost entirely for the first time in many summers. 
(Wm. E. Leonard, M. D. ) 

Mrs. E. , a lad}' under my care the past year for chronic bronchitis and 
other troubles, was seized on July 9th with her third annual attack Of hay 
fever — rose cold, or hay asthma, as you please — having contracted the same 
in Florida. She had formerly been entirely prostrated and forced to bed by 
these seizures, and dreads them much. Her husband came to me in the 
evening, a few hours after the sneezing and harsh breathing began, and 



ATROPHY. 149 

begged of me to check it if possible. I learned from him that she could not 
lie down; her breathing was aggravated upon the least motion and accom- 
panied by arching out between the scapulse. No other point could be elicited 
that would lead to the more ordinary medicines; indeed, all these had been 
tried by other physicians in former attacks. I had found Natrum mur. to 
relieve her troubles greatly, and so gave Natrum sulph.™ , with strong 
promise of relief. Nor were we disappointed; she fell asleep in an hour or 
so after beginning her half-hour doses, and in a few days all signs of asthma 
were gone. On July 18th no signs of asthmatic breathing could be heard 
over her lungs, whereas her former attacks had made her wholly miserable 
for weeks. (Wm. E. Leonard, M. D.) 

ATROPHY. 

Marasmus. 

Calcarea phos. — Scrofulous diseases of children affecting the 
bones (Calc. fluor.\ General debility from mal-assimilation of 
food ; delayed dentition. Watery diarrhoea, with flatulence. 
Abdomen flabby and shrunken. Complexion sallow and child 
has an old and anxious look. 

Kali phos. — Wasting disease when putrid-smelling stools 
occur. Atrophy of bones. 

Natrum mur. — Rapid emaciation of the throat and neck of 
children ; irritability ; the children are very slow to learn to 
talk. Chilliness, earthy complexion and constipation. 

Natrum phos. — Marasmus of children who are bottle fed. 
Abdomen swollen ; liver large. Colic after eating. Stools 
contain undigested food. 

Natrum sulph. — Inherited sycotic constitution ; bloated ab* 
domen, with much rumbling of wind ; stools watery, yellow, 
gushing, worse on commencing to move in the morning. 

Silicea. — Body wasted while the head is exceedingly large. 
Child perspires easily, is nervous and irritable ; face emaciated, 
decrepit looking. Aversion to the mother's milk; vomited if 
taken. Stools offensive and watery. Great prostration upon 
any change of weather. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

" Calcarea phos. in non-assimilation of food." 

Miss R., aged 5 years, has been very frail all her life, and does not appear 
to be long for this world. She is very anaemic and has a dirty looking face. 
Has always been fretful at times and very nervous. Very sensitive and can- 



150 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

not stand any punishment without being sick for a few days. She has no 
hair and during early life could not hold up her head. Her eyes are sensi- 
tive to light. She complains of a bad taste in the mouth and I noticed re- 
tarded dentition and chronic enlargement of the tonsils. She had pain in 
the stomach after eating, and the food seems to lie like a lump in it, and 
would not eat much because it always caused distress. She had suffered 
much with costiveness. 

Urine highly colored and frequent urging to urinate. Had more or less 
pain in the limbs and felt restless and wanted to be moving all the time 
when she felt better. She had a constant leucorrhea, which was very offen- 
sive. She got tired and exhausted very easily and could not stand cold 
weather. Her bones were very small and weak and could have been easily 
broken. The child was ordered bathed on going to bed three times a week, 
and plenty of fresh air. I considered her case nearly a complete picture of 
Calcarea phos. I gave her two cones of the 3X tablets every two hours. 
It is needless to say that she improved from the first dose almost. Her 
general condition has remained permanently improved and it certainly is a 
great victory for the remedy. (O. A. Palmer, M. D. ) 



BACKACHE. 

Silicea. — Spasmodic drawing in back compelling to lie still. 
Constant aching in centre of spine. 

Ferrum phos. — Pains in the back and loins and over kid- 
ney. Rheumatic pains felt only on moving. 

Kali mur. — Useful after Ferrum phos., if the latter fails to 
relieve. 

Kali phos. — Pains which are laming. The parts affected 
feel powerless, gentle movement gradually lessening the pain 
and stiffness, yet too much exertion increasing the pain (such 
as walking too far). This kind of pain is always worse after 
rising from a sitting posture and at the commencement of 
motion. 

Calcarea phos. — Pains with a feeling of numbness, cold- 
ness, or with a creeping sensation ; worse in the night and 
during rest. Can also be given alternately with Ferrum phos. 
After exhausting disease. Backache in the lumbar region in 
the morning when awaking. 

Kali sulph. — Pains which are worse in warm rooms and in 
the evening, better in the open air (cool). Shifting and 
changing about. 



BITES OF INSECTS. 151 

Magnesia phos. — Pains vivid, shooting, boring, intermit- 
tent, shifting and neuralgic ; relieved by warmth. 

Calcarea fluor. — Backache simulating spinal irritation. 
Tired feeling and pains in the lower part of the back, with a 
sensation of fulness and burning pain, and confined bowels. 
Lumbago aggravated on beginning to move, but improved 
after continuous motion. 

Natrum mur. — Pains in small of back relieved by lying on 
something hard, with characteristic tongue, bubbles of frothy 
saliva. Pain after prolonged stooping, as if bruised. Weak 
back, worse in the morning. Spine very sensitive. Neck 
stiff and emaciated. Great weakness and weariness. 

Natrum sulph. — Pain in the back, as if ulcerating, all 
night ; can lie only on the right side. Soreness up and down 
spine and neck. 

Natrum phos. — Pains across loins on awaking in morning. 

BITES OF INSECTS. 

Natrum mur. — Cures rapidly. Moisten the painful spot 
and apply thereto Natrum mitr., 6th trituration, rubbing it 
in. Pain ceases at once. (Schiissler.) 

BONES, DISEASES OF. 

Calcarea phos. — Useful to aid the process of repair in frac- 
tures. When the bones are weak and soft, caused by soft 
sponginess, due to want of phosphate of lime molecules. 
Rachitis, bowlegs in children. Also, for ulceration of bone 
and wasting of skull-bones. Fistulous ulcers on the ankles ; 
edges callous, ichor putrid. Pains along sutures and sym- 
physes of bone. 

Ferrum phos. — In bone diseases, when the soft parts are 
red, hot and painful, inflamed. Ostitis, periostitis. Hip joint 
disease. 

Kali mur. — Second stage of ostitis. 

Kali phos. — Atrophy of bones with foul diarrhoea. 

Silicea. — Indication in nearly all diseases of bones. Fistu- 



152 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

lous openings, discharge offensive. Parts around hard, swol- 
len, bluish-red ; fibrous parts of joints, especially of the knee, 
inflamed. Ulceration of bone, periosteal ulceration. All ex- 
cretions offensive, pus, stool, sweat, etc. Hip joint disease. 

Silicea is oftener indicated and has cured more cases of 
caries and necrosis than any other remedy. It is a deeply 
penetrating remedy, and, while closely resembling Mercur. in 
its sphere of action, care must be taken not to administer it 
after Mercur., as it may much complicate the case. It is 
more suitable for chronic cases, or after the first stage is past. 
(Gilchrist.) No other drug so hastens the elimination of the 
dead bony particles to the largest piece of sequestrum so 
necessary to the cure of scrofulous diseases of the bones. In 
many forms of caries, necrosis and in enchondroma of the 
bones, Grauvogl recommends, as a popular and very effective 
remedy, hay-baths. Their efficacy depends on the presence 
of Silicea, which has been found as a chemical constituent in 
a state of solution in hay-baths — three drams of hay contain- 
ing about one-half grain of Silicea. Hence the usefulness of 
this local measure in diseases of the bone is apparent. 

Calcarea sulph. — Ulceration of bone. Craniotabes. 

Calcarea fluor. — Hard, rough, corrugated elevations on the 
surface of the bones. Useful in cephal-haematoma (so-called 
blood-tumor), on the parietal bones of new born infants. 
Bruises of bones. Exostoses after injuries. Diseases of bones ; 
caries leading to formation of pelvic abscesses. Affections of 
the nasal bones, causing bad odor to disappear. Nodes and 
hard bone swellings. Caries in consequence of syphilis or 
abuse of mercury. Spina ventosa, osteo-sarcoma. Malnutri- 
tion of bones, especially the teeth. Osseous growths, espe- 
cially in the carpal and tarsal articulations. Suppuration of 
bones. 

Magnesia phos. — Spina ventosa alternately with Calc. 
fluor. 

Natrum sulph. — Sycosis. Pain in bones, cracking of joints, 
knees stiff. 



BONES, DISEASES OF. 1 53 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Non-union of a Broken Radius and Udna. — Mr. D., aged 23 years, 
who was an anaemic and frail man, received the injury several months before 
I saw him, and when the splints were removed the soreness was gone, but 
no union of the bones. The parts were cut down upon, the ends freshened, 
brought together and supported, and Calcarea phos. given three or four 
times daily, with a very fine result. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 

Enchondroma Indicis. — A maiden lady of 60 had a shiny swelling on 
her left index finger, which had been there for eighteen months. The lump 
was hard and painful, and of about the size of a small split walnut, but rather 
natter. Patient was very nervous and depressed. Calcarea fluor. 3X, six 
grains four times a day. After two weeks the cartilaginous nature had 
clearly left, and swelling became softer and smaller and disappeared entirely 
within three months. No change was made in diet or place of abode. ( J. 
C. Burnett, M. D. ) ' 

Injury to the tibia of some years' standing ; a painful growth appeared on 
the seat of the injury. This was diagnosed as an osteo-sarcoma by a promi- 
nent surgeon, who advised an operation. Calcarea fluor. relieved the pain 
and reduced the growth. (L. A. Bell, M. D., Hahnemannian Monthly, 
April, 1887.) 

Dr. Hansen, of Copenhagen, reports in the Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1886, p. 44, 
a case of caries of the tibia of three years' standing ; fistulous openings led 
down to the bone, through which splinters of dead bone were being dis- 
charged constantly, the secretion therefrom being thick and yellow, accom- 
panied by boring nightly pains. Calcarea fluor. , 5 cured completely in five 
months. 

Enchondroma cured by Siucea. ( From Grauvogl's Text-book. ) Boy, 
set. 14, metacarpal bones of ring and index and middle fingers and thumb of 
right hand were swollen to such a degree that oval, hard, knobby masses of 
uniform surface were formed; joints obliterated and immovable for the past 
six months. These parts were, at various points, divested of their skin by 
ulcerated surfaces, under which the bones gave a rough sound to the probe, 
and places were found here and there which could easily be penetrated, and 
others again which offered resistance. The boy had no appetite, and was 
kept at work by a potter, carrying clay. Great pain in the suffering parts, 
drowsiness during the day, lassitude and depression. According to the 
doctrines of surgery, there was no other help but disarticulation at the wrist, 
with a loss of the right hand, since only the little finger and its metacarpal 
bone seemed free from the disease. Silicea s , five drops every two hours. 
In eight days the superficial ulcers began to cicatrize and the tuberous 
formations had manifestly decreased in extent. After fourteen days more 
the joints were already movable, though the mobility was very much re- 
stricted. After another fortnight all the concomitant symptoms which had 
been present disappeared, appetite returned, boy was lively and of good 
cheer, and discharged cured. 

A child, aet. 3, had disease of the bone of the forefinger of the left hand, 
midway between the knuckle and next joint. There was a slight whitish 



154 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

discharge from a minute opening, and the flesh was much swollen and dis- 
colored at the place, causing the finger to present a very unpleasant appear- 
ance. A physician had, after treating it unsuccessfull}', advised amputation 
of the finger, but the family, not desiring this result of the trouble, decided 
to try other remedies. Gave her Silicea^, in solution, which produced im- 
provement at once, and in a few weeks cured the disease in the bone, and the 
finger resumed its natural appearance, except a slight scar. ( C. T. M. ) 

Dr. C. F. Nichols reports a number of cases of osseous growths cured and 
benefited by Calcarea fluor? 1 {Organon, 1880.) 

Slow Union of Fracture. — Man, aet. 60, had a fracture of the shaft of 
the femur. It remained movable, in spite of great care, after two months. 
Calcarea phos. 6 was given, at first every night; later every second night. 
At once the fracture grew firm and was soon well. This is certainly better 
than instrumental interference. Eighteen months later, the same femur 
sustained another fracture in its lower portion. The drug was given in like 
manner as before, but from the beginning. It was well in two months. (J. 

C. Morgan, M. D.) 

In the case of a poor orphan girl, set. 14, Silicea saved her from having 
her foot amputated. She had been under treatment a long time for bone 
disease. Her medical man saw no alternative, as the evil only grew worse, 
but to make arrangements with the infirmary surgeon to have it taken off. 
This was agreed on, six days before removing her. Her friends were greatly 
distressed and applied for the new remedies. Silicea, a. dose every hour, was 
steadily taken, and lotion on lint externally applied. On the fifth day the 
ankle-bone and surrounding tissues presented such a healthy appearance 
that all cause for amputation was removed. She continued the treatment 
for a short time longer, and her case was pronounced perfectly cured. (M. 

D. W., from Scbiissler.)

CLINICAL CASES. 

J. C. Morgan, in the Transactions Pennsylvania Homceopathic Medical 
Society, 1882, p. 172, reports some cases of brain troubles in children in 
which convulsive symptoms were prominent, benefited and cured by Mag- 
nesia phos. m . , 

The following is from an elderl}- gentleman, Mr. J. M., who had suffered 
from a prolonged attack of acute and subacute inflammation of the brain. 
He recovered slowly, but symptoms of softening of the brain set in. He 
was anxious to give the new remedies a trial. His speech was affected; he 
seemed to lose momentary consciousness, could not hurry, though he saw 
himself in great danger of being run over, or stop walking when dangerously 
close to the quay, and could not be trusted out alone: " I think it is time I 
were again informing you that I still continue to improve; indeed, I have 
little to complain of except occasionally — only occasionally — a feeling of 
mental stupor, the best remedy for which I have found to be Kali phos. 
which you recommended to me." (M. D. W., from Schiissler. ) 

BRAIN-FAG. 

Calcarea phos. — Nervous prostration, with depression of 
spirits ; profuse night-sweats ; pale, wan and emaciated coun- 
tenance ; loss of virile power ; habitual coldness and venous 
congestion of the extremities from debility, sleeplessness and 
loss of appetite ; numb sensations. 

Silicea. — Confusion, difficulty of fixing attention. Yielding 
and anxious mood. Reading and writing fatigue, cannot bear 
to think. Sense of great debility, but patient can arouse him- 
self, has grit, but soon tires and is compelled to rest. Brain- 
fag in school girls, become confused during recitations, be- 
cause they cannot concentrate their thoughts. Want to think, 
but are unable to do so. 

Kali phos. — To restore lost nervous energy. Covers the 
whole field of neurasthenia. 

Natrum mur. — With sleeplessness, gloomy forebodings, ex- 
haustion after talking, embarrassment of the brain. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

In treating a number of cases of this trouble, the "Tissue Remedies" 
have been of the greatest service and the most rapid in their curative action. 
Cases which have been treated with various other methods and then changed 
on to the Tissue Remedies soon show the marked change for the better and 
take on a more rapid improvement. The great variety of causes and the 



156 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

different styles and conditions in which you first find the patients precludes 
any set rule in treatment, but the prime and allimportant condition to estab- 
lish is proper nourishment to every part and tissue, and then to apply by the 
use of tissue remedies the most necessary demands. In order to supply the 
proper nourishment it may be necessary for the patient to have change of 
surroundings, happy occupation, change of air, scenery and food and then 
to build up with the Tissue Remedies the tissues or forces that have been 
overtaxed, overworked or under nourished and more or less exhausted. A 
regular method should be established — regular exercise, regular meals, reg- 
ular sleep and regular evacuations of the bowels and bladder. These are 
important. Usually Kali phos. is a good remedy to start with, it gets the 
mind in goo<l condition, and aided by Calc. phos., Ferrum phos or Natr. 
phos., dependent on condition, soon begins the improvement. Then follow 
with the Calc. sulph as soon as the Phos. has built up the nerve cells, and 
the Sulph. is needed to finish up the work which may take from three 
months to two years or more, but can be done as positively with these reme- 
dies and the proper application of hygiene as it is possible to cure any dis- 
ease in the domain of curative measures. (F. D. Bittinger, M. D , Dayton, 
Ohio.) 

The following two cases are taken from my note book at a dispensary: 

January 23, 1893, Mrs. J , aged nineteen, twitching of eyelids, worse 

at 5 p. M. every day, after lamp is lighted Eyes water with the twitching. 
Has dread of an accident until a shudder passes over the body; is then 
relieved of the nervousness. Feels weak, is often dizzy. In walking on the 
street steers for the gutter, either to right or left. Despondent, had chorea 
when twelve years old, lasting two years. At seventeen had sense of dread 
at intervals for some months. 

Prescribed Kali phosphoricum 4x, one grain tablet, four times daily. Jan. 
30th mental state and dizziness improved. Remedy repeated. Did not 
return 

June 4th I went to her home and she told me that the twitching, dread 
and difficulty in walking passed away during the second week of treatment 
and had not returned. She was also relieved of the dizziness but has some 
now, due, she thinks, to pregnancy. 

March 30th, Jas. C , aged twelve, pain in right leg, right arm and 

back. Drops things, especially if startled. Difficult speech, irritable, rest- 
less, constipated, sleep poor. Been nervous since seven years of age, at 
which time he was kicked in the back. After treatment for two years he 
was much better. Salt water bath down spine had benefited him. Last 
attack one month ago. 

Kali phosphoricum 4x was prescribed, and he was kept on that remedy 
with continued improvement. 

May 4th, reported better every way, except occasional inability to hold 
things in right hand; worse in the morning, gets better about noon. 

May nth, holds things with less difficulty, can write with more ease, 
always at his best at noon. 

June 8th, has none of the above symptoms; the spine was bathed with salt 
water at first, but that measure was discontinued over five weeks ago. ( T. 
C. Wiggins.) 



BRAIN-FAG. 1 5 7 

A Japanese laborer complained that he could not see after 4 p. m. He 
could see large objects, as a tree or a man, but could not tell whether he was 
hoeing out sugar cane or weeds. Learning that he did not notice such a 
condition on Sundays or holidays, I concluded that fatigue was the cause of 
his trouble, and put him on Kali phosphoricum 6x, with most gratifying im- 
provement in two or three days. Soon he ceased to call. ( T. C. Wiggins. ) 

Mr. S , over sixty years of age, having been under heavy financial 

strain for months, was suddenly s'ricken the afternoon of August 14, 1893. 
He became unconscious in a store where he had gone for help. I saw him 
the next day and he was evidently on the verge of prostration. I advised 
him to give up business and go away for at least a month. He could only leave 
the city for the rest of the week but that, with Kali phosphoricum 6x, helped 
him to go on with his business, till he could go away for a longer stay, which 
was some weeks later. He said, " The medicine braced me up wonderfully." 

The patient came to California with a modest fortune, which he has lost 
in unfortunate speculations — a common occurrence. Anxiety, business cares 
and overwork had been telling upon him for months. Finally, about three 
months ago, while on the local train going home, he suddenly experienced 
a peculiar cerebral sensation, and became unconscious, but in a few minutes 
recovered, and asked the conductor to assist him from the train when he 
arrived at the station, and had the presence of mind to remember a bundle 
which lay on the seat at his side, but was still dizzy and confused. After 
arriving at home, he experienced a severe spasmodic pain in the cardiac 
region, which was accompanied by faintness, shortness of breath, and cold- 
ness of the extremities. This lasted several hours, and continued thereafter 
to return for two weeks or more, without improvement, sometimes several 
times a day, at irregular intervals. This finally was attended by more or 
less mental weakness at times; and, as his physician informed him that he 
was suffering from an organic affection of the brain, the result of apoplexy, 
he became very despondent. 

After three or four weeks he improved somewhat, but, in performing some 
trivial manual labor about his home, he experienced a relapse ; and, as his 
physician insisted that his days were few, he concluded to try an eclectic 
physician, as he employed one in the East formerly as his family adviser. 

When the patient came, in company with his wife, we found the case an 
unpromising one. He was past sixty years of age, of careworn appearance, 
despondent, and presenting marked evidence of nervous exhaustion. There 
was no paralysis, however, and no evidence of any loss of motor or sensory 
function, and upon making the effort we found he could call into use all his 
reasoning faculties. He complained of sleepless nights from lancinating 
pains in the left chest and left side of the face. 

The prescription was Kali phos. 3X, to restore lost nervous energy, and 
Magnesia phos. for the spasmodic pains. Add five grains to a tumbler half 
full of water, each agent to be dissolved in a separate glass, and alternating 
give a teaspoonful every hour during the day, and until bedtime. In about 
a week the patient returned for more medicine, and marked improvement 
was observable. The careworn, despondent appearance of countenance had 
more of an expression of comfort and hope. He said he was better; had felt 



158 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

but one spasmodic attack since beginning the medicine, and could now go 
about and do light chores without becoming exhausted, and slept well all 
night. In another week his wife reported him as well as ever. — Editor 
California Medical Journal. 

BRONCHITIS AND BRONCHIAL CATARRH. 

Ferrum phos. — Takes the place of Aeon, in the acute in- 
flammatory stage, or in chronic bronchitis when a fresh ag- 
gravation sets in. It should be given in alternation with the 
remedy indicated by the expectoration. Any inflammatory 
irritation of the bronchi, accompanied with dyspnoea, heat, or 
burning soreness. Breathing short, oppressed and hurried. 
Capillary bronchitis of young children. Acute, short, spasmodic 
and very painful cough. 

Kali mur. — In the second stage, when thick white phlegm 
forms, fibrinous in character. 

Kali sulph. — When the expectoration is distinctly yellow, 
watery and profuse, or where it is greenish, slimy and watery. 
In the stage of resolution. 

Natrum mur. — Acute inflammation of the windpipe, with 
frothy and clear watery phlegm, loose and rattling, sometimes 
coughed up with difficulty. Chronic bronchitis, bronchial 
catarrh, " winter cough," with any of the above symptoms. 
Clear, watery, starch-like sputa. Secretion causes soreness and 
excoriation. Chronic forms, when sputum is transparent, 
viscid, weak voice, fluttering of heart. Patient is worse near 
the seashore. 

Calcarea phos. — In anaemic persons where expectoration is 
albuminous, like the white of an egg. 

Calcarea sulph. — Where expectoration is yellow, or yellow- 
ish green, or mixed with blood, stage of resolution. Third 
stage of bronchitis. Ordinary catarrhal colds and in cases 
similar to those benefited by Hepar sulph. 

Natrum sulph. — Where exudation causes soreness and chaf- 
ing. Patient must hold his chest on coughing. Asthmatic 
spells worse towards morning. Worse in cold, damp, rainy 
weather. 

Silicea. — Cough worse from cold and better from warm 



BURNS. 159 

drinks. Pus-like expectoration, falls to bottom of vessel con- 
taining water and spreads out like sediment. Bronchial affec- 
tions of rachitic children. Laryngeal morning cough. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Numerous cases of bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia and allied affections of 
the chest, especially in children, have been treated successfully with Ferritin 
phos., followed by or in alternation with Kali mur. Sometimes Bryon. has 
been found an excellent alternating remedy with Ferrum phos., no other 
treatment having been found necessary. 

BURNS. 

Kali mur. — Burns of the first degree, also those of the 
second. Blisters form, also scalds from boiling water. Can be 
applied externally. White or grayish exudation over wound. 

Calcarea sulph. — Burns when suppurating. 

Natrum phos. — Burns with suppuration ; also externally. 

Natrum mur. — When blister has been formed. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. J. T. Frawley, of Cleveland, O., uses Ferrum phos. 2x as a powder to 
dust over burns in which there is much heat and redness. 

CATARRHAL TROUBLES. 

Ferrum phos. — First stage of cold in the head, with circu- 
latory disturbances, catarrhal fever, congestion of nasal mu- 
cous membranes. Smarting in nasal passages, worse inspira- 
tion ; excellent for a predisposition to take cold, alternately 
with Calcarea phos. " Ferrum phos. 3X in pharyngeal ca- 
tarrh, with characteristic white, frothy expectoration, has never 
disappointed me." (W. R. King.) 

Kali mur. — Catarrh when there is white phlegm, thick, not 
transparent. Dry coryza. Stuffy cold in the head, with a 
whitish-gray tongue. Adherent crusts in the vault of the 
pharynx. " I use it often with profit in the purulent stage of 
acute nasal catarrh. Kali -mur. has proved to me the most 
satisfactory remedy in acute inflammations of the naso- 
pharynx in which there is a decided burning dryness. The 
appearance is that of redness with marked thickening, almost 



160 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

as though the mucous membrane were solidly infiltrated." 
(Ivins.) Hawking of mucus from posterior nares. Syphilitic 
ozaena. 

Calcarea fluor. — Catarrh with expectoration of yellowish, 
small lumps. Dry coryza. Stuffy cold in the head (alter- 
nately with Kali mur.), with ineffectual desire to sneeze. 
Ozaena. Osseous growths and diseases of nasal bones, with 
offensive odor of dead bone. 

Natrum mur. — Catarrhs and colds with watery, transparent, 
frothy discharges. Chronic catarrhs of bloodless patients. 
The mucus has sometimes a salty taste. Cold causing vesic- 
ular eruptions with watery contents, which burst and leave 
thin crusts or scabs. Coryza, "running cold," with watery, 
clear, frothy discharge, worse on going into the cold and on 
exertion. Influenza. Epistaxis from stooping and from 
coughing. Posterior nares dry. Loss of sense of smell. 
Dr. Geo. Herring finds the i trit. almost infallible for stop- 
ping a cold commencing with sneezing. Sneezing worse un- 
dressing at night and in morning. Fever blisters. 

Kali sulph. — Yellow, slimy secretions, or expectorations of 
watery matter, are conditions calling for this remedy. Patient 
feels generally worse in the evening or in a heated room. 
Yellow or yellowish discharge from the nose. Colds with 
dry skin when perspiration does not set in freely under use of 
Ferrum phos. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic catarrhs and colds in adynamic 
persons (as an intercurrent remedy). Colds in the head with 
an albuminous discharge from nose. Sneezing and sore nos- 
trils. Dr. L. A. Bull says : "I frequently began the treatment 
of chronic catarrhal conditions of the air-passages with Cal- 
carea phos. I find that it has quite a decided tonic action, 
and influences the conditions of the membranes for good. In 
many places it quite takes the place of the Cinchona prepara- 
tions." Darge pedunculated nasal polypi. Point of nose icy- 
cold. Swollen, ulcerated nose in scrofulous children. 

Calcarea sulph. — Cold in the head, with thick, yellow, 



CATARRHAL TROUBLES. l6l 

opaque, purulent secretions, frequently tinged with blood. It 
clears up the condition of the mucous glands. Nosebleed. 

Natrum phos. — As an intercurrent, when gastric symptoms 
appear, such as acid risings and yellow base of tongue. Pick- 
ing at nose. Naso-pharyngeal catarrh, with thick, yellow 
mucus, especially in the scrofulous oza^na. Offensive odor 
before nose. 

Natrum sulph. — Nosebleed during menses. Ozaena syphi- 
litica, worse every change from dry to wet weather. Catarrhs 
of mucous membranes in general, characterized by a tendency 
to profuse secretion of greenish mucus. This is the tissue 
remedy for la grippe, since the disease is caused by an excess 
of water in the cellular fluids. 

Kali phos. — Ozsena, foul, offensive discharge from nose, 
foul breath, and where secondary nervous troubles arise. 
Epistaxis and predisposition to same. Yellow crusts blown 
from nose. Thick, yellow discharge ; sneezes from slightest 
exposure. Thick mucus hawked from posterior nares. 

Magnesia phos. — Loss or perversion of sense of smell. Al- 
ternate dry and loose coryza. Gushing flow from nostrils. 

Silicea. — Ozaena, with offensive discharge from nose, when 
the affection is seated in the submucous connective tissue or 
periosteum. (Syringe also with a solution of the same 
remedy.) Painful, chronic dryness of the nose, or inveterate 
ulceration, producing acrid, corroding discharge ; herpetic 
eruption around nostrils and lips. Itching of tip of nose. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. H. Goullon {Pop. Zeitschrift) praises Natrum phos. in chronic post- 
nasal catarrh, giving as indications the golden-yellow exudation and yellow 
tongue, etc., and relates a case cured by Natrum phos. b after Kali bich. had 
failed, as well as everything else, and the patient had become hypochon- 
driacal. 

Case of thick, yellow, offensive ozsena, alternating with watery discharge; 
has been affected with it for eighteen months; has lost taste and smell; left 
nostril worse. Catamenia occur every three weeks. Takes cold very easily. 
Stillborn child three years ago. Gave three doses of Kali sulph. u in water, 
to be taken once a week. In one month reported catarrh entirely well; has 
regained much of the lost senses of smell and taste. ( W. P. Wesselhceft, 
M. D.)

1 62 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Dr. Breuer, of Munich, reports a case of suppressed foot-sweat, resulting 
in protracted bronchial catarrh; cured by Calcarea sulph. and Silicea. — A. 
H. Z., 1883. 

Case of gentleman, light-complexioned. About once a week a thick, 
dark brown semi-fluid accumulation of pus formed in the left upper nostril; 
on being blown out it emitted a terrible stench. About a month previous a 
piece of carious bone was taken from the antrum highmori, through an 
upper left alveolus, from which a tooth had been drawn four years previous. 
The probe entered the antrum freely. Calcarea, Silicea and several other 
remedies proved inefficacious. Three weeks after having taken two doses of 
Kali sulph. 6 in water, morning and evening, a tablespoonful for four days, 
nothing more remained of the discharge, and the alveolus closed so that no 
probe entered. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D ) 

NaTrum muriaTICUM. — Dr. Louis A. Bull records a case of atrophic rhino- 
pharyngitis in which the skin was "colorless, dry, fishy in appearance and 
profusely dotted with comedones, large and small." He was reminded, he 
says, of Boussingault's experiments in withholding salt from animals, and 
opined that here was a case in which chloride of sodium was not properly 
assimilated. He used it locally in ten grains to the ounce solution, and in- 
ernally in dynamized form, with most satisfactory results. — Horn. Recorder. 

CHICKEN POX. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy alone, or alternately with the 
remedy indicated by the eruption, such as Kali mur., Calcarea 
sulph., Natrum sulph. or Silicea. 

CHOLERA. 

Ferrum phos. — In the first stage, for the vascular disturb- 
ances, alternating with Kali phos. Cholera infantum, dis- 
charges frequent, watery, even bloody ; child is greatly re- 
duced, falls into a stupor, red face, dilated pupils, rolling of 
head and soft, full-flowing pulse, cholera from checked per- 
spiration. 

Kali phos. — When the stools have the appearance of rice- 
water. Collapse, livid, blue countenance and low pulse. 

Kali sulph. — Cramps and other symptoms of cholera. 

Magnesia phos. — Choleraic cramps. First stage. Watery 
diarrhoea with vomiting and cramps in calves. 

Natrum sulph. — Is, according to Schiissler, the remedy for 
cholera and cholerine. 

Calcarea phos. — Cholera infantum. Green diarrhoea in 



CHOREA. 163 

scrofulous children, slimy, watery, undigested and offensive. 
Thin body, child looks like an old woman. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Old man attacked with severe vomiting and diarrhoea, cramps in calves 
and rice-water discharges. Kali phos. cured. (Schussler. ) 

CHOREA. 

Calcarea phos. — In scrofulous children. Chorea during 
puberty in either boys or girls. 

Magnesia phos. — This is the chief remedy. Involuntary 
movements and contortions of the limbs, with mute, appealing 
looks for sympathy. Follow or alternate with Calcarea phos. 

Silicea. — When due to the presence of worms, spasms, 
sleep disturbed by frightful dreams, distorted eyes, pale face, 
canine hunger, irritation of nostrils, constipation, great thirst, 
cedema of face and extremities. 

Natrum mur. — Suitable for chronic cases, after fright or 
suppression of eruptions on the face, paroxysms of jumping 
regardless of obstructions, twitchings on the right side, worse 
at full moon, especially in anaemic and chlorotic states, with 
thirst and fever. 

Natrum phos. — If due to worms, or if acid symptoms are 
present. (See Silicea.} 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of chorea; face and upper part of body affected; lateral and down- 
ward jerking of the mouth, snapping of eyelids, sudden forward motion of 
head, and other irregular movements. Better during sleep; aggravated at 
stool and by emotions, Ignat. failed. Magnesia phos? for three months pro- 
duced gratifying results, but did not fully cure. Acting on Dr. Schiissler's 
advice, Calcarea phos . 6x was given alternately with the Magnesia phos., 
the former once daily, the latter twice. In one month the child was cured. 
(D. B. Whittier, M. D.) 

Choreic patient talking to herself constantly, or sitting still in moody 
silence, or carrying things from one place to another and then back again. 
Magnesia phos. n cured. (Dr. Sager. ) 

H. S., aet. 7. Chorea for two years, caused by fright; pale, delicate, 
anaemic, drinks much water, feverish, white tongue, sore mouth. Natrum 
mztr. 200 cured permanently. (C. P. Hart, M. D.) 



164 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Chorea cured by Magnesia phos.— By Dr. John H. Clarke. — Gertrude 

S , aet. 6, was admitted to the London Homoeopathic Hospital, on 

March 30th, 1887. She had suffered from well-marked chorea during the 
preceding eight months, and the usual remedies for such conditions had 
been administered to her as an out-patient during the previous two months, 
with but small success. No definite cause was to be made out. The child 
did not suffer from worms, and there was no history of a fright. On admis- 
sion she twitched all over during her waking hours, but was quiet during 
sleep. She walked fairly well and could feed herself, but her speech was 
exceedingly defective. The heart's action was accelerated, but no abnor- 
mal sound was to be distinguished. Subsequently, however, a soft, pre- 
systolic, blowing sound was at times audible, as if the muscular fibres of 
the heart participated in the general spasms. The pupils were symmetri- 
cally dilated. Magnesia phos. was prescribed — two grains of the sixth 
decimal trituration, three times daily. The improvement which followed 
was slow, but abundantly manifest. The general twitching became less; the 
articulation improved, the child took nourishment freely; slept well at 
night, and lost the scared expression so characteristic of the complaint. 
By May 17th no vestige of the chorea remained. On being directed to stand 
up, close the eyes, and hold the arms extended, she did so without difficulty. 
Subjected to the difficult test of walking blindfolded, she came through 
triumphantly. Lastly her powers of speech had so much improved that, 
whereas on her admission the meaning of her utterances was a matter of 
pure conjecture, by this date her remarks were quite intelligible. Thus 
within seven weeks this obstinate case of a very troublesome disease yielded 
completely to Magnesia phos. — one of Schiissler's so-called "tissue reme- 
dies." No other medicine was given. — Horn. World, July, 1887. 

COLIC. 

Magnesia phos. — Flatulent colic of children, with drawing 
up of legs. Colic forcing the patient to bend double; eased 
by friction, warmth and belching of gas. Colic in umbilical 
region. Muscular contractions. Remittent colic, crampy 
pain. " Colic of newborn infants. I use it in almost every 
case with absolute, invariable, prompt and complete success ; 
30th potency." (J. C. Morgan, M. D.) Colicky babies when 
they cry half the time ; no interference with nutrition. Gall- 
stone colic. 

Natrum phos. — Colic of children, with symptoms of 
acidity, such as green, sour-smelling stools, vomiting of 
curdled milk, etc. 

Ferrum phos. — Colic at menstrual periods, with heat, flush- 
ing of the face and quickened pulse. 



colic. 165 

Natrum sulph. — Flatulent colic starting in right groin. 
Bilious colic, with bitter taste in the mouth and grayish or 
brownish-green coating at the root of the tongue. In lead 
colic this remedy should be given frequently in the ix or 2x 
trituration. Pain in abdomen and small of back as if bruised. 
Much flatulence. Incarceration of flatus. Flatulent complaints 
after confinement, with constipation. 

Kali sulph. — Pains resembling colic. Abdomen feels cold 
to touch ; sometimes caused by great heat, from excitement 
and sudden coldness ; shortly after, gas escaping smells like 
sulphur ; if Magnesia phos. fail. 

Kali phos. — Colic in hypogastrium, with ineffectual urging 
to stool ; better bending double. Abdomen distended with 
gas. 

Natrum mur. — "In cases of bilious colic presenting the 
belching of Carbo veg. and the pains of Diosc. and Coloc. I 
have found Natrum mur. to do excellent service." (C. E. 
Fisher.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Woman, aet. 50, suffered for two years from gastralgia and enteralgia, 
attacks lasting several days; at each attack vomiting of a fluid as sour as 
vinegar. Two allopaths had treated her in vain, diagnosing the affection as 
cancer of the stomach and wandering kidney. My diagnosis was oversecre- 
tion of lactic acid. Natrum phos. Improvement set in in two days, and in 
a few weeks was entirely cured. (Schiissler. ) 

Case of lady with bilious colic. Was sent for in the night, and for par- 
ticular reasons did not go. I, however, sent what I thought would relieve 
her. Early in the morning her husband was again at my office, saying she 
was no better, but suffering terribly. I gave him a different remedy, to be 
administered until I could get there. About half past nine I arrived at the 
house, and found her still suffering excruciating pains. Ascertaining she 
had vomited bile, and had a very bitter taste in her mouth all the time, I 
administered a powder of Natrum sulph. in a little water. In about two 
minutes after taking it she said she was considerably relieved for the first 
time since eleven o'clock in the night. In about five minutes she had a free 
movement from the bowels, and she continued to improve, and was up and 
about the next morning. 

One of the hard-working clergy of the metropolis was for several years 
subject to very frequent and very severe attacks of colic, always running on 
to inflammatory character, violent vomiting, great tenderness of abdomen , 
restlessness, anxiety, misery. These attacks generally lasted from three 



1 66 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

days to one week. More than a year ago it was ascertained that the pain 
generally commenced i?i the right groin and thence spread over the whole 
abdomen. Natrum sulph. was given, the attack yielded immediately, and 
though he has had several threatenings, he has had no colic since. — Hering's

tion with occasional attacks of diarrhoea in young children. 
This remedy is an admirable laxative when administered with 
the food of infants. Dose, 5 to 10 grains three times daily for 
a six-months' old child. 

Natrum sulph. — Hard, knotty stools streaked with blood, 
preceded and accompanied by smarting at the anus ; difficult 
expulsion of soft stool ; emission of fetid flatus in large quan- 
tities. (Strong.) 

Ferrum phos. — Constipation with heat in the lower bowel, 
caused by atony of muscular fibres of intestines. " Ferrum 
phos. is indicated in obstinate constipation with prolapsus ani 
and piles, associated with anaemia ; face pale, readily flushing, 
cold hands and feet, palpitation, persistent chilliness, flatu- 
lence and fulness of epigastrium, with great aversion to meat

stipation of poorly nourished children with pale, earthy face. 
Copious perspiration around head, accompanying paralytic 
diseases. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mrs. H., aet. 26, mother of three children; constipation since birth of last 
child, three months ago. Cathartics had failed. The stools were hard and 
dry, were partially expelled with much straining, and then receded into the 
rectum. Silieea 30 cured in four doses, taken night and morning. (I. P. 
Johnson.) 

Dr. Gross, the pupil of Hahnemann, relates a very remarkable case of 
chronic constipation cured with Natrum mur. w The patient, a boy, set. 11, 
born of scrofulous parents, has an idiotic brother; patient himself mute and 
almost an idiot. The poor creature suffered with constipation from birth. 
Would go three to four weeks without stool. After a course of Natrum 
mur. so the constipation was entirely cured. (Full report of the case found 
in Strong's Constipation, p. 72.)

(Lilienthal.) 

CLINICAL CA.SES. 

Dr. J. A. Biegler reports in the Trans. I. H. A. 1888, a case of subacute 
laryngitis cured by Kali phos. 30 . The prescription was given " as a forlorn 
hope," because the case came late under treatment, with weakness, pale, 
bluish face, etc Speech slow, becoming inarticulate, creeping paralysis, 
and because Grauvogl says: "We know that the oxidation processes, the 
changes of gases in the respiration, and other chemical transformations in 
the blood, are brought about by the presence of Kali phos." 

Dr. F. W. Southworth reports two cases of spasmodic cough, promptly re- 
lieved by Magnes. phos. 4X and 6x respectively, the leading indications being 
its spasmodic character, worse on lying down and at night, and on breathing 
cold air; better on sitting up; tightness across the chest. The second case 
had spurting of urine when coughing. 

Dr. Fisher was consulted by a lady {enciente) who was suffering from a 
cough which caused great inconvenience, as with every cough there was 
emission of urine. Ferrum phos. cured her very speedily. A short time 
ago the lady under similar circumstances was again troubled with a cough. 
Ferrum phos. this time also cured her as speedily. (From Schiissler. ) 

CROUP. 

Kali mur. — Is the principal remedy for the membranous 
exudation, alternating with Ferrum phos. The chief remedy 
in false croup. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy should be alternated with 
Kali mur.; breathing short, oppressed and hurried. 



170 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea fluor. — If Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. do not 
suffice. The chief remedy in true croup. 

Calcarea phos. — Useful if the foregoing fail to act. "Suffo- 
cative attacks on lifting up the child from the cradle. After 
nursing, after crying, or being raised from the cradle, breath- 
ing ceases, the head turns backward, the face is blue, there is 
fighting with hands and feet; after the attack great laxation." 
(Bradford.) 

Kali phos. — If treatment is delayed till the last stage, syn- 
cope ; for nervous prostration, pale, livid countenance ; in 
alternation with Kali mur. 

Magnesia phos. — Spasmodic closure of the windpipe. Sud- 
den shrill voice ; suffocative cough. 

Calcarea sulph. — Useful after the exudation stage when, 
after the hard membrane has been softened, there exists a 
tough mucus in the throat causing much discomfort. It will 
change the croupous to a catarrhal cough, and when given in 
season will sometimes prevent exudation. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

D. R., a boy, aet. 7, who took spurious croup when there was a sharp, 
keen, northeast wind, having had a few years before a very severe attack of 
true croup; this past autumn had again an attack, with fever, and a loud, 
barking cough. Aeon, and liver of sulphur, which have been recommended 
by so many authors against spurious croup, produced no change whatever, 
so that I prepared myself, in the case of this boy, for a continuance of the 
affection, as usual, for several days. The nights especially were very rest- 
less, with much coughing, rough and hard, so that his relatives were very 
anxious. There were dry heat and great oppression present. I exchanged 
my Hepar sulph. for Kali mur., and gave every two hours a full dose. After 
a few doses the cough became loose, lost completely the barking sound, and 
the whole of the following night my little patient slept quietly, so that on 
the following morning he awoke, able to get up, quite lively and well. 
(Schiissler ) 

In croup, do not be afraid of high potencies; they often do much better 
than the low. (E. H. H.) 

DELIRIUM. 

Ferrum phos. — When there is present high fever. 
Natrum mur. — Delirium occurring at any time, with start- 



DENTITION. 171 

ing of the body, wandering delirium with muttering ; frothy 
tongue. Delirium tremens. Chief remedy; if it does no good 
give Kali phos. 

Kali phos. — Delirium tremens ; the horrors of drunkards, 
fear, sleeplessness, restlessness and suspiciousness, rambling 
talk, endeavors to grasp or avoid imaginary objects and 
images. Give alternately with Natrum mur., as this remedy 
restores the normal consistency of the brain substance which 
is disturbed in this disease. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I was consulted by the relatives of a man suffering from delirium tremens. 
I ordered Natrum mur. A complete cure followed speedily. Natrum mur. 
is the principal remedy, as delirium tremens is caused by a disturbance of 
the balance of the molecules of the Natrum mur. and molecules of water in 
some portion of the brain. (Schiissler. ) 

DENTITION. 

Ferrum phos. — Teething troubles with feverishness, flushed 
face, sparkling eyes, dilated pupils, and extreme restlessness 
and irritability. 

Magnesia phos. — Convulsions in teething without fever, in 
alternation with Ferrum phos. "In convulsive cases, where 
Bellad. seems indicated, but does no good, spasmodic colic, 
loose bowels, this is a magnificent remedy." (J. C. Morgan, 
M. D.) 

Calcarea phos. — The chief remedy in teething disorders. 
If they appear too late it should be given to hasten develop- 
ment. It is the remedy for troublesome ailments during den- 
tition. Especially useful in flabby, emaciated children with 
open posterior fontanelles. Child does not learn to walk or 
forgets to walk and loses flesh. Has a sputtering, pus-like 
diarrhoea and vomiting. 

Natrum mur. — Where there is much dribbling or flow of 
saliva. 

Silicea. — Especially suitable for children with large heads, 
open sutures, much sweat about head, large abdomen, fine 
skin, oversensitiveness, imperfectly nourished, due to mal- 
assimilation. 



172 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea fluor. — This remedy also greatly facilitates denti- 
tion. Vomiting during dentition. Malnutrition of the bones, 
especially the teeth. " Spasms, commencing by holding 
breath, incessant crying and momentary loss of consciousness." 
(Dr. J. W. Ward.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of vomiting of food and drink during dentition, undigested diarrhoea, 
curdled milk, with green specks in it, much offensive flatus. During sleep 
head wets pillow, head small. Calcarea phos} cured. (Raue, Record, 1873.) 

Dentition. — Child 18 months old; hot skin, cheeks highly flushed, spark- 
ling eyes, pupils dilated, and extreme restlessness and irritability. Ferr. 
phos. 6x trit., in water every hour. The first dose had a decided quieting 
effect, the child going to sleep shortly after taking it and the cheeks becom- 
ing much less flushed. A few repetitions of the remedy entirely removed 
all the dental irritation. (Wilde. ) 

I have had many cases of that troublesome affection with children that I 
have easily cured with Magnes. phos. and Calc. phos. For the benefit of 
young practitioners, I will add that I generally prevent the recurrence of 
that trouble by treating the mother in the following manner: As soon as I 
see one of my regular patients having reached the fifth or sixth month of 
pregnancy, every morning and evening I order the pregnant woman to take 
a dose of Calc. phos. 3X trit. The results that I have obtained are: first, to 
prevent the usual decay of the mother's teeth; and, second, to see her off- 
spring cutting teeth sooner and without any trouble. (E. A. de Cailhol, 
M. D.) 

DIABETES MELLITUS. 

Natrum mur. — Polyuria ; unquenchable thirst ; emaciation, 
loss of sleep and appetite ; great debility and despondency. 

Natrum sulph. — This is the chief remedy. Schiissler gives 
as a special reason for its use deficiency of the pancreatic secre- 
tion. 

Kali mur. — Excessive and sugary urine. Great weakness 
and somnolence. 

Kali phos. — The symptoms for which this remedy must be 
given intercurrently are nervous prostration, weakness, sleep- 
lessness and voracious hunger ; it establishes normal function 
of the medulla oblongata and pneumogastric nerve, which 
latter acts on the digestion or stomach and on the lungs. 

Ferrum phos. — Diabetes, when there is a quickened pulse 



DIABETES. 173 

or when there exists pain, heat or congestion in any part of 
the system, as an intercurrent remedy. 

Calcarea phos. — Polyuria, with weakness, much thirst, dry 
mouth and tongue ; flabby, sunken abdomen ; craves bacon 
and salt. Glycosuria when lungs are implicated. 

Calcarea sulph. — Schussler says that this may possibly be 
a remedy useful for this disease ; also Kali sulph. 

NOTE TO DIABETES. 

A writer explains the biochemic treatment of diabetes as follows: 

Lactic acid is composed of Carbonic acid and water, and must be split up 
on its way to the lungs. This is done by the catalytic action of Sodium 
phosphate in the blood. Any deficiency of Sodium phosphate will cause a 
disturbance in the water in the system by allowing an excess of Lactic acid 
to accumulate. Nature in her effort to eliminate the water produces the 
symptoms called diabetes. 

But while a lack of Sodium phosphate is the principal cause of diabetes, 
the chief remedy is Sodium phosphate; because it regulates the supply of 
water in the blood. Sodium phosphate also gives off oxygen, 90 necessary 
for the process of the decomposition of sugar, and thereby prevents its 
reaching the kidneys as sugar, and also thins to its normal consistency bile 
that has become inspissated from a lack of Sodium phosphate. 

If a case of diabetes has advanced to any considerable degree, the kidneys 
will have become ihflamed by the Lactic acid and sugar that passes through 
them. This injury to the tissue of the kidney calls upon the red corpuscles 
of the blood for Lron phosphate, which will in most cases cause a deficiency 
in that inorganic salt. Nature, in her efforts to supply iron, will probably 
draw on the nerve fluid, Potassium phosphate will be too rapidly consumed, 
and the patient suffers from nervous prostration. 

The treatment, therefore, for diabetes mellitus is : the Phosphates of 
sodium, Iron and Potassium, and the Sulphate of sodium. For the great 
functional disturbance of nerve centers caused by the demand made on the 
blood for the Potassium phosphate, producing sleeplessness and voracious 
hunger, Potassium phosphate is 'the infallible remedy. It establishes nor- 
mal functional action of the medulla oblongata and pneumogastric nerve, 
which latter acts on stomach and lungs. P"or the great thirst, emaciation, 
and despondency, give Sodium chloride. It equally distributes the water in 
the system and quickly restores the normal condition. 

The phosphates may be combined where two or more are indicated, but 
the Sodium sulphite and Sodiutn chloride should be given in separate solu- 
tions. Where there is great emaciation or poor appetite Calcium phosphate 
should be given, a small dose after each meal. 

In my opinion, diet cuts but little figure in the treatment of diabetes, ex- 
cept as to the amount of food taken. The main object is have the food 
digest. Diabetic patients should never overeat; better eat six times daily 
than overeat once. 



174 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Of course diet of fat meats or greasy food cannot be beneficial, for the very 
important fact that it overworks the liver, causes a deficiency and conse- 
quent thickening of bile and mucus, and sometimes a crystallization of 
cholesterin in the gall duct, which give rise to symptoms called hepatic colic, 
jaundice, or bilious headache. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. E. B. Rankin reports a case of diabetes insipidus improving under 
Natrum phos. 6x, in thirst, appetite and general strength, also in quantity 
of urine. However, no permanent result was obtained in this case. — South- 
ern Journal of Homoeopathy, April, 1886. 

Schiissler notices two cures of this disease, communicated to him from 
Scotland, and one in which an Italian doctor employed successfully Natrum 
sulph. in diabetes. The details are wanting. 

I have had occasion to treat many cases of that affection that I consider 
of a nervous origin. The treatment that has always succeeded with me has 
invariably been Natrum sulph. and Magnesia phos. 6x trit. ; the length of 
treatment has been from forty-eight hours to a week; one dose of each of 
these salts in alternation every hour. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.) 

Mrs. M., aged 42, consulting me, declared that she passed nearly four 
gallons of urine in twenty-four hours; its specific gravity was 1.040. I 
learned from her that the disease originated from a nervous shock (conjugal 
onanismus). I cured that disease in three months with Natr. sulph., Natr. 
phos., Kali phos. and Magnes. phos., given according to the symptoms that 
I had to fight against. Having seen her three years after, the cure was per- 
fect and no sign of relapse. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.) 

DIARRHOEA. 

Ferrum phos. — Diarrhoea from a relaxed state of the villi, 
or absorbents of the intestines not taking up the usual amount 
of moisture. Stools of undigested food, brought on by a chill 
beginning with fever. Prolapsus recti. " Pain non-intermit- 
tent. Diarrhoea copious, watery, sudden, painful, often ac- 
companied by vomiting." (Guilbert.) Diarrhoea in children, 
stools watery, mucous, green and frequent ; child rolls its 
head and groans ; face pinched, eyes half opened ; urine 
scanty, pulse and respiration quickened, starting in sleep. 
Stools undigested ; the skin is hot and dry, and there is thirst. 
Dentition. 

Kali mur. — Diarrhoea after fatty food, pastry, etc. Evacu- 
ations light colored, pale yellow, ochre or clay-colored stools. 
Diarrhoea in typhoid fever; stools like pale yellow ochre. 



DIARRHCEA. 175 

White or slimy stools, with the characteristic white coating 
of the tongue. Stools bloody or slimy. 

Kali phos. — Foul diarrhoea, often accompanied by other 
diseases, to heal the conditions causing putrid evacuations. 
Diarrhoea of strong odor, occasioned by fright and other simi- 
lar causes. Diarrhoea with depression and exhaustion of the 
nerves, with or without pain. Evacuations like rice water. 
Prolapsus recti. Tympanites. Stools putrid, like rice water, 
bloody, carrion-like odor. Noisy, offensive flatus. Profuse, 
painless and imperative stool while eating, followed by unsat- 
isfied urging. Rectum burns and feels sore ; prolapsed. 

Natrum mur. — Diarrhoea with watery, slimy, frothy stools. 
Transparent, glairy slime, excessive use of salt. " Natrum 
mur. is chiefly used for chronic diarrhoea of children. The 
emaciation of the neck, the greasy appearance of the face, and 
the peculiar desires and aversions furnish the leading indica- 
tions." (Bell &Daird.) Slimy coating of tongue with minute 
bubbles of saliva on tip. 

Natrum phos. — Itching, sore and raw anus. Stools white 
or green from deficient bile. Diarrhoea caused by excess of 
acidity ; stools sour smelling, green, with yellow, creamy coat- 
ing of tongue. Vomiting of sour fluid, curdy masses. Sum- 
mer diarrhoea connected with a lack of digestive power, in 
which the stools are either clay-colored or habitually greenish. 
Also, where there is habitual constipation with occasional at- 
tacks of diarrhoea, in young children. " Jelly-like masses of 
mucus, painful straining, coagulated casein, scanty and fre- 
quent." (Guilbert.) Diarrhoea from bad methods in feeding. 

Natrum sulph. — Diarrhoea ; stools watery, dark, bilious, or 
of green bile. " This is one of the most frequently indicated 
remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, where the loose morn- 
ing stool is the leading symptom. The flatulent symptoms 
are very characteristic, but not necessarily present. Aggrava- 
tion in damp weather. Green diarrhoea in scarlatina. Wart- 
like eruptions on arms and between thighs. Chronic heredi- 
tary looseness of bowels in old women." (Bell & Daird.) 



176 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Chronic diarrhoea coming on sometime after rising and moving 
about. 

Kali sulph. — Diarrhoea yellow, slimy or watery, purulent 
stools. Yellow coating of tongue, especially at root. Symp- 
toms of cholera, cramps, etc. Black, thin, offensive stools. 

Calcarea sulph. — Diarrhoea purulent, mixed with blood, 
with clay-colored tongue. In typhus ; from maple sugar and 
change of weather. 

Calcarea phos. — Diarrhoea in teething children, as an inter- 
current or alternate remedy. Intercurrently in consumption 
of the bowels. One of our most valuable remedies for the 
diarrhoea of scrofulous and rachitic children. Green, slimy, 
undigested diarrhoea. Stool is hot, watery, profuse, offensive, 
noisy and sputtering. 

Magnesia phos. — Stools watery, expelled with force, with 
griping pains in the bowels, flatulent colic relieved by draw- 
ing up the limbs, or hot applications. Vomiting and cramp 
in calves of legs. Pain at intervals. 

Silicea. — Infantile diarrhoea, cadaverous-smelling, after vac- 
cination, with much sour perspiration on head, and hard, hot, 
distended abdomen. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Chronic diarrhoea in old maid, set. 75, of years' standing, cured by Ferrum 
phos. (W. P. W.) 

Morning diarrhoea on rising; sudden urging, gushing, accompanied with 
flatulence. The stool splatters all over the vessel. Natrmn sulph. cm. 
cured. (C. Lippe.) 

An old man was attacked by a severe vomiting and diarrhoea, accom- 
panied by exceedingly painful cramp in the calves. Evacuations had the 
appearance of rice-water. I undertook the treatment about six hours after 
the beginning of the attack, and one dose of Kali phos. effected a cure. The 
speedy cure of this case of choleraic diarrhoea would justify the belief that 
Kali phos. is a specific against cholera. (Schiissler.) 

Dr. Goullon relates a case of chronic diarrhoea of two years' standing. 
Stools of mushy consistence, coated tongue, cured with Calcarea sulph. — 
Allg. Horn. Zeit. 

Among the first cases in which I tried these remedies was a negro child, 
about two months old. The following are about the symptoms presented: 
Painful diarrhoea, constant rolling of the head, eyes turned up, tongue 
brownish-vellow, no desire to nurse for some time. The mother said it had 



DIPHTHERIA. 1 77 

been sick for a week, and she had been giving it different things; but as it 
got worse, she called me. I told her I was afraid there was little chance 
for its recovery, but I would do what I could for it. Prescribed Magnesia 
phos. and Calcarea phos. in alternation, every fifteen minutes. This was 
about nine or ten o'clock a. m. I returned about three o'clock p. m., to see 
if it were still alive, and to my astonishment found it better. It had ceased 
rolling its head, eyes were natural, had nursed once or twice, and was sleep- 
ing. Ordered the medicine to be continued at longer intervals. The next 
morning it was considerably better. At this visit I found the tongue cov- 
ered with a thick white coating, and the mouth sore. I now prescribed 
Kali mur., the remedy for this condition, in place of the Calcarea phos., to 
be alternated with the Magnesia phos. every hour. The next day the tongue 
was clear, and after leaving a few more powders, to be continued for a day 
or two longer, the case was dismissed. (E. H. H.) 

Dr. T. F. Allen cured a case of chronic diarrhoea in an old lady, with 
morning aggravation on beginning to move, with Nalrum sulph. -jx. (N. 
A.J. H.) 

DIPHTHERIA. 

Ferrum phos. — At the commencement and for the fever. 

Kali mur. — This is the sole remedy in most cases, in alter- 
nation with Ferrum phos., which latter will lessen the fever, 
and is always indicated at the commencement. Kali mur. 
stands in the same biological relation to the albuminoid sub- 
stances (z. <?., the fibrin) as does the phosphate of lime to the 
albumen. When an intense irritation has attacked those cells 
which form the seat of the disease in diphtheria, or relatively 
the Kali mur. molecules which are contained in them, there 
arise a disturbance of the proper balance of the molecules of 
this salt and consequent loss of some molecules, perhaps only 
a small number. At the same time a portion of the albumi- 
noid substances (the organic basis of the cells) is set free and 
appears on the surface of the mucous membrane, where it is 
recognized as the diphtheritic exudation. So long as the dis- 
turbance of the proper balance in the motion of Kali mur. 
molecules lasts, the exudation will derive supplies and con- 
tinue to go on. For the purpose of curing diphtheria by means 
of the biochemic method, new molecules of this salt must be 
applied to the respective tissues of which Kali mur. molecules 
have become inharmonious in their function, and for this 
reason the remedy must be given in molecular form. Dose, 

12 



178 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

10 to 15 grains of 3d or 6th trituration in a tumbler of water, 
a dose every two hours, or a powder the size of a pea, dry on 
the tongue. 

Calcarea fluor. — When the affection has gone to the wind- 
pipe through mismanagement, give this remedy and Calcarea 
phos. alternately. 

Calcarea phos. — Diphtheritic exudation spreading to the 
trachea. Such a complication is very rare when the Tissue 
Remedies are used exclusively. A white speck or patch re- 
mains after the main exudation has come off. 

Kali phos. — In the well-marked, malignant, gangrenous 
condition, patient exhausted, prostrate. Also for the after- 
effects of diphtheria, such as weakness of sight, nasal speech 
or paralysis in any part of the body, squinting, etc. The putrid 
character is well marked, as seen by the putrid-smelling odor 
from mouth. 

Natrum mur. — Diphtheria, if the face be puffy and pale with 
heavy drowsiness ; watery stools, flow of saliva or vomiting of 
watery fluid. Dryness of the tongue, stertorous breathing, etc. 
The use of Natrum mur. must be discontinued with the dis- 
appearance of these symptoms. 

Natrum phos. — Diphtheritic throat, falsely so called (not 
true), when the tonsils are covered with a yellow, creamy 
coating, and the back part of the roof of the mouth looks 
creamy-yellow ; the coating of the tongue is moist, creamy or 
gold colored. 

Natrum sulph. — In diphtheria as an intercurrent remedy 
where there is vomiting of green matter or water, and the 
peculiar welling-up of mucus from the stomach. 

Note. — Under no circumstances should other remedies, 
such as lime water, carbolic acid, iced water, etc., be used 
along with these remedies, because they may interfere with 
the proper action of these salts. (Schiissler.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Fully developed case of diphtheria with the characteristic glandular en- 
largement, tonsils, uvula and entire soft palate were covered with a thick, 
diphtheritic exudation. Deglutition was attended with great pain and ac- 



DIPHTHERIA. 179 

companied with the utmost effort, and there was exceeding prostration. 
Kali mur. 6 every two hours. The following day there was a marked im- 
provement, and in four days every vestige of the throat trouble had disap- 
peared, and the child recovered rapidly under Calcarea phos. (W. M. Pratt, 
M. D., North American Journal of Homoeopathy, May, 1883.) 

Last summer I had a case of diphtheria that was a little out of the usual 
order. I saw the case on Saturday, July 21. It looked like a simple ulcer- 
ated sore throat, and I prescribed Calc. sulp/i. and told the mother that if 
she was not better in the afternoon to let me know. When I got home, 
about four o'clock, she and her father were at my office. I found her quite 
feverish and her speech considerably muffled. I examined her throat care- 
fully and found a distinct grayish patch on each tonsil. I now prescribed 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. in alternation. About nine o'clock I called 
and found that she was evidently not relieved in any way whatever. She 
now complained of something continually coming into her throat. I thought 
perhaps it was waterbrash and gave a few doses of Natrum phos., but to no 
effect. Continued the first remedies through the night. The next morning 
much worse. The membrane had spread considerably and the tonsils were 
much enlarged. The rising of mucus in the throat continued. Saw her 
three times on Sunday. Gave her lower potencies. Left her at night on 3X. 
Monday morning the mother met me with tears in her eyes and wanted to 
know if I had not better call another physician. Found her very ill indeed. 
It flashed upon me that the constant welling-up of mucus in the throat is a 
symptom of Natrum sulph. I consequently gave it alone in the 200 (B & 
T. ) potency, and in a few hours there was a decided change for the better. 
In a few days she was well. (E. H. H.) 

In fourteen cases of diphtheria the biochemic measures left nothing better 
to be desired, Kali mur. rapidly making a change, the whitish-gray exuda- 
tion being diminished, shrivelling and coming away with the gargle and 
mouth-wash made with Kali mur., also occasional doses of Ferrum phos. 
The treatment worked splendidly. In three cases the patients labored under 
prostration from the first, and Kali phos. had to be given intercurrently; in 
two cases Natrum mur. alternately with Kali mur., the chief remedy. In 
the latter cases there existed considerable running of saliva, heavy drowsi- 
ness and watery stools. No secondary affections resulted, such as frequently 
arise under ordinary treatment, as paralysis, defective vision, or neuralgia. 
(M. D. W.) 

Case from the practice of Schiissler: In a village a few miles from the 
town of Oldenberg, a child was taken ill with diphtheria, which at an early 
stage was complicated by an affection of the larynx. The child was treated 
by the ordinary method and died. Almost at the same time a child of an- 
other family in the village was attacked by diphtheria with the same com- 
plication. The father of the latter child came to me. I prescribed Kali 
mur. for the disease in the first instance, and Calcarea phos. for the affec- 
tion of the larynx, to be taken alternately. I requested the father to inform 
me without fail of the result, which he promised to do. Two days after I 
received a letter from him, in which he informed me that the child had 
completely recovered. 



180 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

In diphtheria (maligna), -where every known remedy failed, Kali phos. 
and Kali mur. with, and sometimes without, Natrum mur. effected subsi- 
dence of malignity, and hastened the cure. 

In paralysis after diphtheria, I know of no better remedy than Kali phos. 
(Dr. F. from Schiissler.) 

The following cases are of interest, as showing the action of Ferrum 
phos. in diphtheria: 

i. Young lady with sore throat, tonsils swollen moderately and quite red, 
a little feverish. Ferrum phos. 30 every three hours for a day and a half, 
then paused, being better. Became worse and sent for me. Diphtheritic 
membrane covered the right tonsil. Ferrum phos? , as before. The next 
day the membrane was nearly all gone, swelling and redness were better. 
Continued prescription every four hours. The following day only a slight 
vestige of the membrane remained. Medicine given less often, and the next 
day was perfectly well. 

2. Boy, set. 5, febrile state, glistening, flushed eyes, red cheeks, tonsils 
red and swollen, especially the right, on which was a tuftlike exudation 
about its centre and about one-quarter inch in diameter, hanging down, the 
upper attachment looking blackish next to the tonsils; fetid breath. Fer- 
rum phos? . The next day the tonsil was clear, but a similar exudation ap- 
peared on the posterior wall of the pharynx; continued the same remedy 
every four hours; the following day he was well. (J. C. Morgan, M. D., 
Hahnemannian Monthly, vol. vii.) 

DIZZINESS. 

When it occurs in nervous subjects who, without having 
any active symptoms of dyspepsia, do not well assimilate the 
nutritive portion of the food. Calcarea phos. ix, given after 
meals, will be found useful. (C. R. Fleury.) 

DROPSICAL AFFECTIONS. 

Kali mur. — Dropsy arising from heart, liver or kidney affec- 
tions, when the prominent characteristic symptoms of this 
remedy are present. Dropsy from obstruction of bile ducts 
and enlargement of the liver. There is generally a white- 
coated tongue. Dropsy from weakness of the heart (in alter- 
nation with Kali pkos.). Dropsy, with palpitation. Dropsy 
in which the liquid drawn off is whitish, or white mucus is 
deposited in the urine. Persistent white coating on the 
tongue. Hydrocele. 

Natrum sulph. — Simple dropsy invading the areolar tissues 



DROPSICAL AFFECTIONS. l8l 

of the body. Preputial oedema or scrotal oedema. Gjdema 
of internal as well as external parts. 

Natrum mur. — Dropsy and dropsical swellings of any of 
the subcutaneous areolar tissues of the body. Anasarca. 
Preputial or scrotal oedema. 

Ferrum phos. — Dropsy from loss of blood or draining of 
the system, alternately with Calcarea phos. 

Calcarea phos. — Dropsy from non-assimilation. Anaemia 
or loss of blood or vital fluids. Hydrops genu. 

Calcarea fluor. — Dropsy caused by heart disease, dilata- 
tion of any of the cavities. Hydrocele of long standing. 

Kali sulph. — Post-scarlatinal dropsy. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Scarlatinal dropsy in a child, set 4; Digital., Apis, Arsen. and Apoc. 
failed. Quantity of urine voided in twenty-four hours was very scanty, and 
during the past forty-eight hours had ceased entirely. The patient was fear- 
fully anasarcous. Reclining position was impossible. Natrum mur. 6 every 
two hours. In twenty-four hours the child voided two quarts of urine and 
a speedy recovery followed. (W. M. Pratt, M. D. ) 

Dr. Goullon, Jr., who used Kali mur. with much success in a swelling of 
the feet and lower extremities, adds the following particular indications for 
its use: The remedy in question appears indicated in chronic persistent 
swelling of the feet and lower limbs, when the swelling is soft at first, after- 
wards becoming hard to the touch, without pain or redness. It is, however, 
itchy; and at one stage may be termed snowy-white and shining. Lastly, 
the swelling becomes less perceptible in the morning than in the evening, 
but may acquire such dimensions as to cause great tension, with a feeling as 
if it would burst. 

A little girl, aet. 9, had recovered from diphtheria and scarlatina rather 
easily, and was allowed to be in the convalescent room. Suddenly she 
began to swell without any apparent cause. Her face became puffy; the 
feet also cedematous to above the ankle. Urine scarcely decreased, contain- 
ing no albumen. No pain over the kidneys on pressure. Pulse somewhat 
feverish, but appetite, sleep and stools still natural. I gave three different 
medicines — amongst these, Aconite — without success. Dropsy (anasarca et 
ascites) was increasing rapidly; urine scanty; only very small quantities oc- 
casionally, being slightly turbid and containing much albumen. Whether 
any epithelial sheathings were present was not ascertained. Kidneys were 
now more sensitive to pressure. Occasionally delirious. Natrum mur. 
alone cured this case in about a fortnight. (Dr. Cohn, from Schiissler. ) 



1 82 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

DYSENTERY. 

Kali mur. — Intense pain in the abdomen, cutting as from 
knives, calls to stool every few minutes, with tenesmus, ex- 
torting cries, purging with slimy, sanious stools. In most 
cases this remedy with Ferrum phos. cures. 

Ferrum phos. — If affection begins with violent fever, this, 
with the foregoing remedy, usually suffices for a cure. If 
pain is dependent on inflammation making no intervals and 
increased by pressure. Never useful if tenesmus is present. 

Kali phos. — When the stool consists of blood only, and the 
patient becomes delirious, abdomen swollen, or when stools 
have a putrid odor. Putrid, very offensive stools, and great 
dryness of the tongue. Prolapsus recti. Tenesmus after 
stools. 

Magnesia phos. — Crampy pains eased by bending double, 
by warmth, friction or pressure. Tenesmus and tormina, 
with constant desire to pass water and go to stool. Pains in 
rectum with every stool as from a prolonged spasm of muscles. 

Calcarea sulph. — Stools purulent, sanious (mixed with 
blood), especially in cases that persist after Kali mur. 

Natrum sulph. — If bilious symptoms are present. 

CLINICAL, CASES. 

Dr. E. H. Holbrook reports a case of dysentery which was greatly relieved 
by Calcarea sulph. cm. Turning into a bilious diarrhoea, Natrum sulph. 
cured. 

Lady complaining of extreme tenesmus and tormina, and constant desire 
to pass water and go to stool. Every time this pain came on, must rise and 
bend forward, and the only relief obtained was from hot water. Magnes. 
phos. 2c. every 15 minutes cured third dose. (Dr. Reed.) 

In treating a case of dysentery lately I was at my wits' end to control the 
terrible pain in defecation. Merc. cor. suited the case well, and the stools 
were growing less frequent, but the pain was increasing, being so severe as 
to cause fainting. Something had to be done if I held my case. The pain 
in the rectum and abdomen was very severe, more in rectum than abdomen. 
The tenesmus was like a prolonged spasm of the muscles employed in defe- 
cation. I exhibited " Schiissler's " Magnes. phos. in hot water. A hypo- 
dermic of morphia could hardly have acted quicker. The pain was almost 
entirely relieved by the first dose. The whole condition changed for the 
better, and I discharged my case the next day. In all my experience I 



DYSMENORRHEA. 1 83 

never had a more prompt or pleasing result. Magnes. phos. is a grand 
antispasmodic, and fully as reliable as our more frequently used remedies. 
I was led to think of it for my case of dysentery by a statemenl made to me 
by Dr. E. E. Snyder, of Binghampton, N. Y. He gave it with equally as 
prompt results in spasmodic tenesmus vesicae occurring in a case of cystitis 
resulting from gonorrhoea. It certainly did me great service. (H. K. 
Leonard, M. D. ) 

DYSMENORRHEA. 

See also Menstruation, and Women, Diseases of 

Calcarea phos. — When during puberty the patient has not 
been careful, with consequent dysmenorrhoea. Nympho- 
mania. L,abor-like pains before and during catamenia, with 
violent backache, vertigo, sexual excitement and throbbing 
headache. 

Ferrum phos. — Pain at the monthly periods, with flushed 
face and quick pulse, with vomiting of undigested food, some- 
times acid taste. To be taken also as a preventive before the 
periods if these symptoms are recurrent. Excessive congestion 
at the monthly periods, blood bright-red, the vagina dry and 
sensitive. 

Kali phos. — Great pain at the time of menses in pale, lach- 
rymose, irritable, sensitive females. 

Magnesia phos. — The chief remedy in ordinary cases of 
menstrual colic, painful menstruation or pain preceding the 
flow. Warmth is soothing ; neuralgic, cramping pains, worse 
by motion. Membranous dysmenorrhoea. 

Natrum mur. — Menses scanty and dark, preceded by frontal 
headaches ; often subject to fever-blisters on lips, and during 
summer to urticarious eruptions. Sore burning in vagina 
and cutting-burning in the womb. Great melancholy. Also, 
too profuse and too early, with bursting headache, and fre- 
quent shivering. 

Natrum sulph. — With colic, menses acrid. Pinching in 
abdomen, early in the morning. Violent epistaxis. Vulvitis. 
Trembling or twitching of the hands and languor of feet. 

Silicea. — With great coldness. Icy coldness of the whole 
body from the commencement of the flow. Vagina sensitive. 



1 84 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Miss N., aged 19, troubled with pains before and during the first day or so 
of the flow, which would confine her to bed. Plethoric, robust and perfectly 
well in every other way. Several ten grain powders of Ferrum phos. , to be 
given in hot water every half hour until the pain was relieved, which oc- 
curred after the third powder, and then to continue the powders in water 
every other night before retiring during the next interval with a hot saline 
sitz bath at least once a week at night. The menses came all right and have 
been coming ever since with no return of pain and perfect regularity. — F. 
D. Bittinger, M. D., Dayton, O. 

J. T. Kent reports a case of dysmenorrhcea of years' standing, cured by 
Calcarea phos. in two months. — Homeopathic Physician, 1884. 

Dr. R. D. Belding [N. Y. St. Trans.) reports a case of dysmenorrhcea, of 
years' standing, characterized by pain and soreness in left hypochondrium 
going through to right scapula, worse lying on left side, with headache and 
diarrhoea. Patient feels best in cool, dry weather, every summer has urti- 
carious eruptions. Dreams of robbers, has frequent cold sores on upper lip. 
Natrum. mur. m cured. 

Dr. D. B. Whittier (in Hahnemannian Monthly, July, 1887) reports sev- 
eral cases of dysmenorrhcea cured with Kali phos. and Magnesia phos. 

Dr. A. P. Davis relates a case of dysmenorrhcea with severe pains in 
uterus, back and lower limbs; heat applied to abdomen did not relieve; a 
large dose of Magnes phos. 6x lessened the pain in one-half hour; another 
dose brought on a free flow. The pain usually lasted several hours previous 
to flowing. The remedy was given as a preventive during several subse- 
quent months with good effect, and the patient finally cured. Dr. Davis 
regards Magnes. phos. superior to Cimicifiiga in neuralgia of the uterus and 
in the relief of menstrual pains, and as very useful in uterine engorgement, 
and gives a case of menorrhagia cured with the 6x. 

Kali phos. in Dysmenorrhcea. — Dr. D. B. Whittier reports the cure of 
a dysmenorrhcea of fifteen years' standing (in a highly neurotic and hysteri- 
cal woman) by a course of Kali phos. continuing over six months, after allo- 
pathic medicines, and apparently indicated homoeopathic medicines had 
failed. Some of the symptoms were: the mammae were so painful that the 
touch of her clothing was unbearable. The menstrual pains were cramp- 
like, with severe bearing down in the hypogastrium, and most severe after 
the flow commenced. When the suffering was most intense a sharp, shoot- 
ing pain would extend from the hypogastrium to the epigastrium, followed 
by a sensation as if something were flowing up to the stomach, and imme- 
diately succeeded by a vomiting of bile or frothy, acid substances, sometimes 
streaked with blood. The vomiting would relieve the painful distress of the 
stomach, when the uterine pains would be increased and sometimes con- 
tinue for twenty-four hours. A headache, at first general, soon settled over 
the left eye. When the headache was severe the pains elsewhere were less- 
ened, and vice versa. The first menstrual period following the administra- 
tion of the Kali phos. was comparatively comfortable. — Horn. Journal of 
Obstetrics, November. 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 1 85 

Dysmenorrhcea that had lasted for some time in which at each menstrual 
period a membrane was discharged, varying in size from one to two inches 
long. The pains came on after the flow began, in the abdomen low down, 
and were relieved by lying curled up in bed with a hot water bag on the ab- 
domen. The pains would last for a day — dull, aching — and next day, or day 
after a membrane would be passed. I gave her after one of her menstrual 
periods Magnes. phos. cm., one dose dry. The next menstruation was easier 
somewhat, but not much. Magnes. phos. in water for two days, night and 
morning, and the next menstrual period was painless, though she passed the 
membrane as before. After that the menses were perfectly painless. (Dr. 
Campbell, in Proceedings of Hahnemannian Association, 1889.) 

I had a patient with very severe shooting neuralgic pains during the men- 
strual period. The pains were in the stomach and lasted the first day or 
two. Commenced in the back and came directly around and centred in the 
pit of the stomach. They were relieved by heat and pressure. Magnes. 
phos. 10m., one dose, and she had no more pain. (J. T. Kent, M. D.) 

A most instructive case of membranous dysmenorrhcea cured with Mag- 
nesia phos. 4x was recently reported in the ' ' Homoeopathic World. ' ' It was 
a case of several years' standing and the cure was complete. 

EAR, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammatory earache from cold, with burn- 
ing, throbbing pain. Sensitive to noise. Congestive stage of 
otitis. Earache, with sharp, stitching pain. Noises in the 
ears, arising through blood-pressure from relaxed conditions 
of the vessels not returning the blood properly. Inflammatory 
conditions, radiating pains, sensitiveness, especially in affec- 
tions of the ear in anaemic subjects. A clinical symptom is : 
" Noticeable pulsation in the ear ; every impulse of the heart 
is felt here, beating in the ear and head ; the pulse can be 
counted." (Houghton.) Chronic, non-suppurative catarrh of 
the middle ear, where the membrana tympani is thickened, 
and there is probably anchylosis of the small bones. 

The following are also indications for its use : " 1. A marked 
tendency for the inflammatory process to be diffused instead 
of circumscribed. 2. Dark, beefy redness of the parts. 3. A 
muco-purulent discharge and a tendency to hemorrhage. 4. 
The complete establishment of the discharge is not followed 
by the relief of the pain. 5. The paroxysmal character of the 
pain." (Wanstall, American Institute Transactions, 1886, p. 
389.) Also, the absence of exudation, the radiating pains

and sensitiveness, and the general anaemic and debilitated 
condition of the patient. Deafness from inflammatory action, 
or suppuration, when there are cutting pains, tension, throb- 
bing or heat, tinnitus aurium from excessive flow of blood to 
the part. Inflammation of the drum, especially when the 
membrane is dry, and its vessels engorged. Diffuse inflam- 
mation of the external auditory canal and acute affections of 
middle ear. (H. C. F.) Catarrhal affections of Eustachian 
tubes. " For earache after exposure to cold or wet I have no 
better remedy. (R. S. Copeland.) 

Kali mur. — Earache, with white or gray-furred tongue and 
swelling of the glands, swelling of the throat. Eustachian 
tubes swell, cracking noise in the ear when swallowing. Deaf- 
ness from swelling of the Eustachian tubes. It is also the 
principal remedy for deafness from swelling of the external 
ear. Deafness with swelling of the glands or cracking noises 
on blowing the nose, tongue white. Chronic dermatitis. 
Moist exfoliation of the epithelial layer of the tympanum. 
In ulcerations, where pus is whitish ; granular conditions of 
meatus and of membrana tympani ; excessive granulations. 
" One of the most effective remedies we have ever used for 
chronic catarrhal inflammation of the middle ear, especially 
the form designated 'proliferous.' Stuffy sensation, subjective 
sounds, deafness, naso-pharyngeal obstruction, granular phar- 
yngitis, closed Eustachian tubes, retracted membrana tym- 
pani, etc., walls of external meatus atrophied. Seems to 
affect more decidedly the right Eustachian tube. In chronic 
suppuration it reduces proliferation, checks granulation and 
hastens repair." (H. C. Houghton.) 

" Kali mur. is chiefly suited to the second or later stages of 
catarrhal states of the naso-pharynx and Eustachian tube 
which, by continuity of the mucous membrane, extend to the 
cavity of the middle ear itself. The condition of the pharynx, 
as seen by simple inspection, is that of a thickened mucous 
membrane, with inflammation present in subacute or chronic 
form and usually centering around the follicles, giving a 
coarsely granular appearance to the surface. It is not so 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 187 

much an intensely red membrane as one paler in appearance 
which indicates its use, as if the more active hypertrophic 
condition were passing over into a less active or passive 
atrophic state. The presence of small spots of whitish exu- 
dation would be a further indication for its selection, and also 
the condition of the tongue if coated white or gray. The 
accompanying nasal condition is characterized by swelling of 
the lining membrane, obstruction, and thick, yellow dis- 
charge, or later on by thick, whitish mucus. Its use is said 
to lessen susceptibility to these catarrhal states. 

" This same condition extending up into the Eustachian 
tube gives rise to such thickening of the lining membrane 
that the tube, for a time, is partially and sometimes wholly 
occluded. The aural symptoms resulting from this condition 
of the tube are well understood, consisting of deafness of vary- 
ing degree, subjective noises in corresponding degree, and 
those sometimes startling and disagreeable snappings in the 
ear which arise from the sudden partial opening of the tube 
during deglutition, whereby the air is allowed to rush forcibly 
through the tube into the tympanic cavity, relieving thus the 
partial vacuum which always ensues when the tympanum 
becomes a closed cavity, and rarification of the contained air 
takes place. Of course, if specular examination be made at 
such times, more or less retraction of the tympanic membrane 
will be visible. In this condition of the tube the remedy 
applies less to those states which are recent and acute than to 
their later effects, or to the less active forms of inflammation 
from the outset, and its action is said to be greater upon the 
Eustachian tube of the right side than upon that of the left. 

" In the tympanic cavity itself the process of slow prolifera- 
tion, with interstitial thickening and consequent slowly pro- 
gressing deafness, with or without subjective noises, and with- 
out pain, seems to constitute the indication for this remedy. 
It is also especially useful at the termination of more active 
and painful attacks, to clear up the remains of inflammation 
and prevent, as far as possible, its evil effect in inducing 
thickenings in the tympanic mucous membrane and perma- 



1 88 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

nent changes in the delicate structures contained within the 
tympanic cavity. In suppurative disease of the ear this 
remedy is less frequently required than for the catarrhal pro- 
cess, but in cases where granulation is excessive it is some- 
times employed to check the exuberance of their growth and 
favor resolution, while its usefulness at the termination of 
suppurative attacks in the middle ear has been found very 
great in modifying those tendencies to adhesions which con- 
stitute one of their chief dangers. 

" Finally, in the external ear the use of this remedy has 
been hitherto comparatively infrequent, its indications being 
chiefly a dry and scaly proliferation of the epidermis of the 
external meatus, with tendency to atrophy of the walls. A 
swollen condition of the glands about the ear, the angle of the 
jaw, and the neck would further indicate its selection. 

" My own experience with Kali mur. has been largely con- 
fined to chronic catarrhal conditions of the middle ear, and 
after keeping a careful record of its action in nearly two hun- 
dred of these cases, in private practice, I am convinced that it 
is one of the most useful agents we possess in their treatment. 
It will even aid us efficiently in holding in check many of 
those inveterate cases of years' standing which go persistently 
from bad to worse upon the slightest provocation, and which 
no man living can hope to cure. Its most satisfactory results 
are obtained in those cases which may have been gradually 
progressing for months, or even for two or three years, but 
which have not yet given rise to those permanent tissue 
changes which are sure to follow in the later course of the 
disease." (Prof. H. P. Bellows, M. D.) Otitis externa, with

CLINICAL CASES. 

Boy, with history of catarrhal disease of the ear of seven years' standing v 
suffers at times pain, and has often tinnitus; at present suffering with a sub- 
acute attack of catarrhal inflammation of middle ear with slight pain. Fer- 
rurn phos. relieved this; the next time he was seen there still remained 
closure of the Eustachian tube; the mucous membrane of the pharynx was 
pale. Kali mur. entirely removed this, and normal hearing returned. 

A boy, set. 15, had an ear trouble of twelve years' standing, and suffered 
from suppuration of the middle ear, resulting from scarlet fever. At present 
both ears are inflamed; no pain, but has subjective noises, hearing greatly 
diminished, pus fills the meatus, Eustachian tube is dilatable, right mem- 
brana tympani is granular and left perforated, pharynx thick. Calcarea 
sulph. commenced at once and continued to improve; the granular appear- 
ance of the right membrana tympani disappeared, and the improvement was. 
phenomenal. 

Chronic suppurative inflammation of the middle ear from scarlet fever, 
both ears suppurating, both canals filled with pus of a dark color and fetid 
in character. Kali phos. entirely cured. (Houghton, Clinical Otology.) 

Prof. Houghton, in his excellent treatise on Clinical Otology, presents, 
many remarkable cases illustrative of the action of these remedies. The- 
above cases were selected as those in which no other remedies or means 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 191 

were employed. Numerous cases of the beneficial action of Ferruni phos.. 
Kali mur. and Calcarea sulph. in aural practice can be found in this work. 

Acute inflammation of the middle ear commenced by a full feeling in the 
ear and dull hearing. Pain occurred on performing Valsalva's procedure. 
This condition, which grew rapidly worse, continued for forty-eight hours, 
when the physician was called and found the following conditions: The 
pain was paroxysmal, there was a sensation of a plug in the ear, membrana 
tympani injected and bulged, but no evidence of exudation in the tympanic 
cavity. Posterior wall of meatus auditorius bright red in color, ear very 
sensitive to manipulation. Ferritin phos. 6x, every hour. Improvement 
was immediate. Remedy discontinued in forty-eight hours. 

Mrs. , set. 45, February 16, 1887. About three years ago began to 

be troubled with pain and noises in the left ear, aggravated greatly at the 
time of the menses, the pain severe and neuralgic in character, extending 
over the left side of the head. The noises seem to get their character from 
some pronounced sound which is heard, and this persists sometimes for 
hours. For the last six months there has been no further pain on left side, 
but deafness is constant. The right side is now beginning to become deaf, 
but with no pain and no noises. This has been going on upon the right 
side for several months. General health excellent, with the exception of 
redness, fulness and desire to rub and pull the skin about the neck, for a 
few days after the menses, with marked swelling of the glands of the neck 
at the same time. This has been noticed only during the time that the ears 
have been troublesome. The fork is heard best on the left side by bone con- 
duction, and best on the right side by air conduction. Meatus tympani dry 
and depressed. Eustachian tube on the left almost occluded, on the right 
more free. Frequent burning of the auricle on the left side. Kali mur. 6x 
cured. (H. P. Bellows, M. D., in N. E. Med. Gaz., November, 1889.) 

A weak, cachectic woman suffered for three or four days from earache 
and pain in the right side of the head. The ear has been discharging for 
three days, but no mitigation of the pain, which is very severe and radiating 
from the ear, membrana tympani beefy red, swollen and perforated, dis- 
charge profuse and muco-purulent, meatus red, swollen and inflamed. Fer- 
runi phos. 2x in water, every hour. In three days was better in everyway, 
discharge and pain less. A week later all inflammatory symptoms had dis- 
appeared. 

Dr. Wanstall reports three other cases cured by the use of Ferruni phos. , 
from the 2x to the i2x trituration, with results the most gratifying, con- 
trolling the high fever, delirium and pain accompanying the acute middle 
ear inflammation. — Transactions American Institute of Homoeopathy , 1886,

hearing has entirely returned, with a slight, whizzing noise. Every third 
day two doses were taken. This case was entirely cured. (W. P. Wessel- 
hceft, M. D. From Hg.) 

Otitis Externa. — Dr. Stanley Wilde reports a case of otitis externa 
with subsequent otorrhcea and deafness, the latter resisting several reme- 
dies as Merc. sol. , Hydrastis and Sulphur. The case presented a thickening 
and narrowing of the meatus, with a thin flaky discharge therefrom, watch 
hearing 4 in. Kali mur. 3X stopped the discharge, and the hearing became 
normal. Dr. Wilde has used this remedy with good effect in Eustachian 
deafness in children from chronic enlargement of the tonsils. — Horn. 
Review. 

Dr. Goullon reports a case of an old gentleman who suffered greatly with 
a buzzing in ears, which was made much worse in the noisy street. The 
patient had repeated attacks of inflammatory rheumatism, and the tinnitus 
was probably of rheumatic origin. Mentally much depressed. Difficult 
hearing. After a few days' use of Kali phos. 6 all symptoms, including the 
mental condition and difficult, hearing, permanently disappeared. — Pop. 
Horn. Zeitung. 

A gentleman wrote me the symptoms of otitis of a little child, aet. 4 
months, who had a discharge from one ear of an ichorous, thin, offensive 
character, producing an eruption wherever the pus came in contact with 
the integument. I at once sent Kali phos. 6x, ordering it given every six 
hours: In three months the running had all ceased, and the hearing was 
perfect. I frequently use the Silicea in alternation with the Kali phos., 
when the connective tissue is involved. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Another case of "otitis catarrhalis internus " came into my office to see 
me, after spending over $600 with the "regulars." This case was the most 
remarkable that I ever witnessed or treated. The man was a tall, slim, 
sanguine, nervous specimen of the genus homo, rude, illiterate, backwoods, 
gawky looking, seedy, cross between the ourang-outang, monkey, and 
Chinaman, but possessed of sensation, motion and reflection, proving to 
my mind that he was a man for "a' that" and "a' that." Well, I went 
through the examination sufficiently scrutinizingly to ascertain the exact 
pathological condition of. the trouble I had to meet. There was an enor- 
mous protuberance involving the whole mastoid region, the skin red and 
glistening, soft, pappy, showing signs of an induration and broken-down 
connective tissue, and the whole mass filled with pus, and emitting an 
odor that was as sickening as carrion. I at once plunged a knife into the 
mastoid process, out of which ran about a half pint of blood and pus. After 
cleausing the tumor with Eucalyptus I bound up the wound, leaving in it 
a drainage-tube. I treated the wound every day, putting him under the 
influence of Silicea, a dose every two hours. Under the treatment I had 
the satisfaction of seeing him improve from day to day, and in four weeks 
the whole trouble ceased. He had no relapse, but the cure advanced 
steadily until he was well. This case was pronounced hopeless by several 
allopaths. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Wm. McKee, set. 27, suffers from deafness, due to chronic non-suppurative 
catarrh of the middle ear. While a lad, and on to manhood, went out a 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 1 93 

great deal at night to dances and parties, where he would dance and romp 
until in a great heat and profuse sweat, when he would go out of doors and 
remove his coat. In this way he would contract a cold, and one cold after 
another, until he found himself a sufferer from chronic catarrh of the nose 
and throat, the discharge being continual and very annoying. At this time 
(about six years ago) he noticed a noise commencing in his ears, and it 
gradually increased until he became aware of the fact that his hearing was 
damaged. He then commenced treatment, and not getting immediate re- 
lief from his first doctor he changed, and soon changed again, in this way 
going to several doctors, a few of them old-school specialists, and then gave 
up discouraged, and let the disease run its course unhindered. When he 
came to me (last March) he said he had been unable to hear anything but 
confused noises, even when the loudest tones were used to accost him, for 
five years. He is of medium height, rather slender, with inclination to red 
hair; has blue eyes, a fair complexion, and has a slightly anaemic appear- 
ance. He describes the noise in his ears as dull and rumbling, if he pays 
no particular heed to it; but if he concentrates his thoughts on it, he can 
imagine that it resembles almost any kind of a noise. One thing I wish to 
mention which was quite prominent, and quickly disappeared under the 
remedy — viz., he would be awakened in the night by a loud bombing noise 
and afterward be unable to sleep ' ' for the racket in his ears. ' ' There were 
a number of nervous symptoms in the case that led me to show him to Dr. 
Bartlett: I. Slight melancholia, would go off alone and brood over his 
troubles for hours. 2. He would stagger while he walked. I found his 
tendopatella reflex much decreased and on standing with his eyes closed 
he would fall over in my arms, couldn't manage at best to take three steps 
forward with eyes closed without falling. I have kept him pretty steadily 
on Ferrum p/ws., and the improvement is remarkable. He can hear every 
word of the longest sentence by slightly raising the voice when accosting 
him at several feet away. The noises are greatly lessened, he sleeps well, 
and the nervous symptoms are fast disappearing. I have continually in- 
flated the middle ear by Politzer method, once a week. (Dr. F. VV. Mes- 
serve.) 

Mastoid Periostitis — Siucea. — Dr. A. T. Sherman, of Minnesota, re- 
ports a case of a man who had suffered for six days with pain in mastoid 
region. On examination found the membrana tympani highly injected, 
tuning-fork was heard indifferently on each side when pressed against pari- 
etal bones; hearing impaired on the affected side. Temperature 100. Very 
Weak, nervous; complete rmiscular paralysis of right side of face. The con- 
dition of the sense of hearing precluded brain disease. There was no diffi- 
culty in swallowing, or other evidence of paralysis of the muscles of the 
fauces, which placed the trouble beyond the origin of the petrosal nerve. 
There was no disturbance of taste or of the salivary glands, which placed 
the trouble beyond the origin of the chorda tympani. He diagnosed mas- 
toid periostitis with pressure on the seventh nerve immediately on its exit 
from the duct of Fallopius. On protruding his tongue it was drawn some- 
what toward the affected side. While contemplating incision, patient men- 
tioned that on the previous morning he had found relief and some sleep by

placing the head in a warm poultice of Indian meal. Gave Silicea 200 , a dose 
every three hours. In forty-eight hours all pain had ceased and temperature 
normal. Relief from moist warmth was the guiding symptom to the 
remedy. 

Meniere's Disease. — Dr. Fellows reports in the " Clinique " two cases 
of this disease greatly and speedily relieved by Silicea 3X and 6x, given 
several times daily. 

Mrs. , aet. 34. March 30, 1886. For several years has been troubled 

with deafness from time to time, upon the right side, accompanied by tin- 
nitus of ringing and pulsating character, and with occasional pain. Mt.

slight degree.

No further tinnitus. Kali mur. 6x alt. N. 

It is now three years since this case was discharged, and at the expiration 
of two years I heard that there had been no recurrence of any trouble what- 
ever. As another year has passed without news from the patient, the im- 
provement doubtless remains permanent. It is needless to say that the 
spraying with salt solution in this case was not sufficiently potent to detract 
from the cure, while the catheter could have been but an aid only, especially 
when the permanence of the relief is considered. 

In closing my remarks upon the use of Kali mur. in these aural diseases, 
I will simply state that my experience agrees with the observation of others 
that it follows particularly well after Ferrum phos. or Merc, dulcis, and is 
itself sometimes followed especially well by Calcarea sulph. (H. P. Bellows, 
M. D., in N. E. Med. Gaz., Nov., 1889.) 

Silicea in Suppurative Otitis. — Dr. Bellows records a case of distress- 
ing and frequently recurring frontal headache, which seemed traceable to 
chronic middle ear suppuration. The tympanum was perforated. Silicea 
3 taken for some months dried up the discharge, healed the tympanum, and 
made the hearing normal, while the headaches soon disappeared. — JV. E. 
Med. Gazette, Feb., 1893.

EPILEPSY. 

Kali mur. — The specific or the chief remedy in this dis- 
ease, especially when it occurs with or after the suppression 
of eruptions. 



EPILEPSY. 195 

"Kali muriaticum is one of the tissue remedies too easily 
overlooked. Its delicate affinity for the nerve centres makes 
it a slow acting remedy. Inasmuch as the physician too 
frequently seeks palliation in epilepsy, it is not generally em- 
ployed long enough. Without doubt it preserves the fibrin 
factor and prevents a tissue metamorphosis. This, he be- 
lieves, should be the therapeutic aim in treating this disease. 
It is simple enough to relieve a fit, for it is in itself self-limit- 
ing. The real object is to overcome the morbid degeneration. 
The protoplasmic fibres are surely strengthened by Kalimur., 
and such a condition tends to preserve the brain integrity. 
When the brain-cells are properly nourished, they can with- 
stand the irritation of the sensory fibrillse which surround 
them. This being done, we have made the first advance 
toward the removal of the cause of the disease. While he 
does not make the claim of any specific, and while he admits 
the difficulty in curing this terrible disease, the writer's 
record book gives much substantiation of the above state- 
ment." — The Clinique, June 15, 1897. 

Kali phos. — Epilepsy or epileptic fits with sunken counte- 
nance, coldness and palpitation after the fit. 

Magnesia phos. — Epileptic fits, sometimes the result of 
vicious habits, which must be restrained. 

Ferrum phos. — Epileptic fits with rush of blood to head. 

Natrum phos. — Is frequently useful as an alternating 
remedy, and for intestinal irritation (worms, etc.). 

Silicea. — Nocturnal epilepsy, especially about the time of 
the new moon ; feeling of coldness before the attack, spasms 
spread from the solar plexus upward. Exalted susceptibility 
to nervous stimuli, with exhausted condition of the nerves. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mrs. , widow, aet. 30, ever since death of husband, six years ago, 

epileptic attacks at night while sleeping; groans, bites her tongue, bloody- 
foaming, bowels very constipated, no uterine trouble. Silicea 200 greatly 
lessened the frequency of the attacks. (Hoyne.) 

Kali Mur. in Epilepsy.— Dr. C. C. F. Wachendorf reports the case of a 
man, set. 45 years, who had an eruption in September, 1888, which disap- 



196 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

peared until August, 1889. In November, 1889, the eruption was suppressed, 
and he began to have irregular attacks of "fainting fits." He would grow 
pale, a warm feeling following; then spasm, with pain in the cerebellum, 
and burning in the region of the stomach. Attacks nearly always preceded 
by fright or fear. Nux, Bufo and Arsenicum were each tried in turn, but 
failed. Then Kali mur. 6x was prescribed on the indication, "Epilepsy 
from suppressed eruptions." After the sixth day he had no attack. He still 
takes occasional doses of the medicine to keep up its action. 

A lady, set. 32, married, one child 6 years old, has had spasms since the 
birth of the child, every few days, and very severe during the menses, 
twenty-four hours at a time, and from a few moments to an hour apart, 
these continuing three to six days, then every two to four days, in the in- 
terim of menses. The woman was short build, heavy set, short neck, round 
full abdomen, red flushed face, sanguinobilious temperament and of rather 
mild disposition. Headache all the time in temples and back of head, as 
well as constant heat on top of head; also severe pain in the lumbar region 
and across sacrum, numb feeling in lower limbs and cold, clammy perspira- 
tion over the whole body. Physicians had pronounced her case " epilepsy," 
caused by uterine trouble. Without regard to diagnosis, or former treat- 
ment by allopathic medication, I at once gave her Calcarea phos. and Kali 
phos., three doses each per day, and during menses Magnes. phos. every 
two hours during the first two days of the menses. In two months from the 
first time I saw her, she was apparently well in every way, and became 
pregnant again, and by the use of the Calcarea phos. had no further trouble. 
(A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

A boy of 13 had suffered since the age of 6 from trembling of the limbs, 
and was gradually passing into a state of epilepsy. He received, on the 8th 
of October, 1888, Kali chlor., six powders Since the 10th of December he 
has had no return of it. {Monatsbldtter. ) 

A girl, 23 years old, who had suffered since her seventeenth year from 
epilepsy, received, after having two violent attacks, on the nth of June, 
1885, six powders of Kali phos 30 . On the nth of April, 1887, she wrote: 
" Since the 15th of June, 1885, 1 have not had an attack." {Monatsbldtter. ) 

ERYSIPELAS. 

Ferrum phos. — Rose and erysipelatous inflammations of the 
skin, for the fever and pain and severe symptoms of inflamma-

Natrum sulph. — For the smooth form, red, shiny and 
coming in blotches, skin much swollen, with or without vom- 
iting of bile. (Edematous puffy inflammation of the skin. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Ferrum phosphoricum. — A case is reported by an Indian native practi- 
tioner in the Homoeopathic World recently, which well displays the 
activity of this remedy. The case was one apparently of phlegmonous ery- 
sipelas of the left thigh in a boy of 6. It had been going on for some six 
weeks, and was little influenced by the Mercurius iodatus, Hepar sulphuris 
and Silicea at first prescribed. Ferr. phos. 6x wrought an immediate change 
for the better, and effected a rapid cure. 

Mrs. Forbes, a widow, was lying very ill with erysipelas; high fever and 
quite prostrate. The members of her family thought her dying, as she had 
become delirious. Her head and face so swollen that her eyes were literally 
closed, suffering intense pain. Natrum sulph. and Ferrum phos., alter- 
nately, a dose every hour and oftener, were given. After the second dose of 
the former she ejected a great quantity of bile. The severe symptoms sub- 
sided. This was on Saturday night. The medicine was continued, Ferrum 
phos. now only intercurrently, as the pulse had become less frequent. To 
the astonishment of all her friends, on Wednesday morning she was so well 
that she went out to her work as usual. 

Statistics show a death-rate of 2,000 per annum from this disease. In a 
similar case of erysipelas in a lady, aet. 87, these two remedies and a few 
doses of Kali phos. cured her, when the usual treatment, painting with 
iodine, brandy, etc., had no effect in arresting the disease. (M. D. W. 
From Schiissler.)

EYE, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammation of any part of the eyes with- 
out secretion of mucus or pus. Pain in the eyeball, made 
worse by moving the eyes. Burning sensation in the eyes. 
They appear inflamed and red. Retinitis. Great redness

with severe pain, without mucus or matter. " Conjunctiva 
congested, and. with a sensation as if grains of sand were 
under the eyelids, vision dim, letters blur while reading, even 
though the refraction be normal, or if any error exists and is 
corrected by lenses, or where there is an insufficiency of the 
internal recti muscles so far as can be determined. Photo- 
phobia worse from artificial lights." (H. F. Ivins, M. D.) 

Dr. Robert Cooper reports as having observed three times 
that a stye appeared on the lower lid of the right eye in 
patients who were taking this remedy for debility. "Ferrum 
phos. is especially adapted to conjunctivitis with great relax- 
ation of that membrane, and surpasses Aconite in the majority 
of acute superficial inflammations of the eye. In retinitis, 
with great engorgement of the retinal vessels. It has been 
found of great service." (H. C. French, M. D.) 

Kali mur. — Affections of the eye with discharge of white 
mucus or yellow-greenish matter (also Kali stclph.). Feeling 
of sand in the eyes. Yellow, purulent scabs on the lids, specks 
of matter. Blisters on cornea. Inflammation of the iris. 
Superficial flat ulcer arising from a vesicle. Retinitis. Paren- 
chymatous keratitis. Of great use even in the early stage. 
" In diffuse interstitial keratitis in which the cornea is flecked 
over a large extent of its surface with light deposits, we have 
found it of great value. Indeed, we believe it will prove to 
possess a specific influence over many of the pathological 
changes in that organ. In chronic abscess of the cornea it has 
been found to do good." (H. C. French, M. D.) 

In the North American Journal of Homoeopathy, Sept., 1885, 
p. 14, Dr. Geo. S. Norton writes of the use of this remedy in 
ulceration of the cornea. He has found it useful in ulcers of 
a clearly asthenic type, inflammations of a low degree, tedious 
cases, redness of the conjunctiva is not excessive. Photopho- 
bia, pain and lachrymation are very moderate or absent en- 
tirely. Any part of the cornea may be the seat of the ulcer, 
but it is liable to begin at the periphery and spread to the 
centre. The base of the ulcer is dirty-white or yellow, often 
vascular, and surrounding inflammation is very marked, dis- 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 1 99 

charge moderate and of white mucus ; sometimes there is 
purulent infiltration extending between the layers of the cor- 
nea (onyx) or into the anterior chamber (hypopyon), but even 
then it is asthenic. Sometimes the disease appears more like 
an abscess, breaking down later into an ulcer. The tongue 
will usually have a thin, white coating. (See Clinical Cases.) 
Cataract after Calc. fiuor. Dr. Norton communicates to us the 
following : Kali mitr. is especially adapted to the non-vascu- 
lar variety of parenchymatous inflammation of the cornea 
{Aurum 7?iur., Cannabis and Merc, active and vascular va- 
riety); there may be some photophobia and lachrymation, but 
never excessive as under Calc. phos. The pains are not dis- 
tinctive, but are always moderate. Redness is present, but is 
never expressive, bright-red or fiery. Trachoma. 

Kali phos. — Eyesight weak from an exhausted condition of 
the system, after diphtheria. Sensation of sand or sticks in the 
eyes. Soreness of eyeballs and edges of lids. Burning in eyes 
as if full of smoke. Byes twitch, become blurred, black spots 
before eyes. Photophobia. Excited, staring appearance of 
the eyes, a symptom of nervous disturbances during the 
course of a disease ; drooping of the eyelids, strabismus not 
spasmodic, squinting after diphtheria. Muscular and accom- 
modative asthenopia and incoordination of the ocular muscles, 
especially from defective inervation. (H. C. F.) 

Kali sulph. — Eyelids covered with yellow crusts, discharge 
from eyes yellow or greenish matter, yellow, purulent slime 
or yellow, watery secretions. Cataract, dimness of crystalline 
lens {Natr. mur.). Ophthalmia neonatorum, thin yellow or 
sanious discharge with closely adherent membrane on the 
palpebral conjunctiva. It is useful where other remedies 
fail. We have found Kali sulph. a valuable agent in abscess 
of the cornea, and superior to Kali mur. in cases of pus in the 
anterior chamber (hypopyon), two or three cases of which 
under this remedy (3X) alone have cleared up with gratifying 
promptness. (H. C. French, M. D.) 

Magnesia phos. — Drooping of the eyelid, affections of the 
eyes with sensitiveness to light, or contracted pupils, vision

affected, sees sparks, colors before the eyes, twitching of eye- 
lids, spasmodic squinting, dulness of vision from weakness of 
optic nerve, strabismus. Diplopia, supraorbital neuralgia, 
relieved by warmth. Hyperaesthesia of the retina with flashes 
of light and black specks before eyes, with general nervous 
excitability. (H. C. F.) Retinitis pigmentosa. (R. S. C.) 
Ciliary neuralgia has been frequently cured with this remedy. 

Natrum mur. — Asthenopia, muscular; the most important 
remedy. Blister on cornea, discharge of clear mucus from 
eyes or flow of tears with obstruction of tear-ducts, neuralgic 
pains periodically returning with flow of tears. Eyes water, 
secretion causes scalding of skin or eruption of small vesicles ; 
granulated eyelids without secretion of tears. Tarsi much 
thickened and red. White spots on the cornea. The eye 
may also be syringed with a solution of this remedy extern- 
ally, daily. The molecules of the salt which remain on the 
spot cause by their hygroscopic nature a gradual moistening 
and absorption of the spot. Ciliary neuralgia. Incipient 
cataract. Iritis. Natr. mur. is most suitable where the 
humors of the eyeball are increased in quantity, thus causing 
internal pressure. "Is of possible value in glaucoma." (R. 
S. C.) 

Natrum phos. — Discharge of golden-yellow, creamy matter. 
Conjunctivitis with discharge of yellow, creamy matter. Hy- 
popyon. Lids glued together in the morning; note condi- 
tions of the tongue, palate, presence of acid risings, etc. 
Burning lachrymation, eyes bloodshot. Dim sight, as if a 
veil were before the eyes. Scrofulous ophthalmia ; squinting 
caused by intestinal irritation, worms, etc. Ophthalmia in 
newborn infants ; also externally as a wash. " Ophthalmia, 
profuse, creamy, sticky secretion and dim vision, especially in 
old women; also when accompanied by diarrhoea." (Dufneld.) 
Sees sparks before eyes. Boring pains in the eyes of rheu- 
matic origin. 

Natrum sulph. — Pain over eyes. Granular conjunctivitis. 
Photophobia in scrofulous ophthalmia. " No remedy, Graph- 
ites possibly excepted, has such terrible sensitiveness to light

conjunctivae. Large, blister-like granulations with burning 
lachrymation, burning of edges of lids. Hypopyon. 

Silicea. — Stye on the eyelids, also use as a lotion to remove 
and hasten the discharge painlessly. If much inflammation, 
Fermm phos. Deep-seated abscess of cornea. Hypopyon. 
Photophobia, sudden paroxysms of nyctalopia. Amblyopia 
and cataract after checked foot-sweat. Boils and cystic 
tumors around eyelids. Opaque cornea. Ciliary neuralgia 
over right eye. Kernels and indurations of the lids. Scrof- 
ulous ophthalmia. 

Calcarea phos. — Spasmodic affections of the eyelids, if 
Magnes. phos. fails. Parenchymatous keratitis in scrofulous 
diathesis. Useful in checking cataract. Dry inflammation 
of the eyes during dentition. Photophobia. Corneal opacity. 
No use where the palpebral conjunctiva is much involved. 
Congenital amblyopia in children of a rachitic constitution 
and scrofulous diathesis, with general characteristics of the 
drug. Useful in non-vascular form of diffuse keratitis with 
more marked photophobia than under Kali mur. and accom- 
panied by well-known scrofulous cachexia. Cataract appear- 
ing with lupus, cancer or tuberculosis, gout, etc. 

Calcarea sulph. — Deep ulcers on cornea, ophthalmia, pus 
thick and yellow. Inflammation of the eyes with discharge 
of thick, yellow matter. Deep-seated abscess of the cornea 
{Silicea). Hypopyon, to absorb the effusion of pus in the eye 
(after Silicea). Retinitis. Sensation of foreign body ; has to 
tie up, after injuries. Pus in anterior chamber. Phlyctenular 
keratitis and conjunctivitis, cervical glands enlarged. In- 
flamed canthi. " Has in my hands reduced purulent dis- 
charge in ophthalmia neonatorum." (H. C. F.) 

Calcarea fluor. — Flickering and sparks before the eyes, 
spots on the cornea, conjunctivitis, cataract. Indurations in 
the lids. Enlarged meibomian glands. 

This remedy has been found of use in cases of partial 
blindness. Dimness of vision from overstraining the eyes. 
" I have prescribed Calcarea fluor. recently in my clinic in a

number of cases. In one case of senile cataract where it was 
used there certainly was great improvement in sight." (R. 
S. Copeland, Prof. Ophthalmology, University of Michigan). 

CLINICAL CASES. 

The following cases were furnished for this edition by Dr. T. M. Stewart 
of Cincinnati: 

i. Weak child, 2 years of age, thin skull, fontanelles open, soft cataract 
of left eye. Calcarea fluorica 6x; in three months' examination showed an- 
terior fontanelle closed, and child much improved in general health. No 
change in cataract. 

2. The following troublesome symptoms not entirely relieved by wearing 
proper correcting glasses for compound hyperopic astigmatism were com- 
pletely cured: The glasses were prescribed in June and patient reported in 
November following. Complained of some itching and burning, blurring of 
sight occasionally, floating specks before eyes, light aggravates all symp- 
toms. Kali phos. 6x cured. 

3. Epiphora from refractive error not entirely relieved from wearing cor- 
rective glasses. Calcarea fluor. 6x entirely relieved the following symp- 
toms: Itching of mucous surface of lids, eyes water and sensation of air 
blowing on eyes after use of glasses. 

Parenchymatous keratitis, inflammation of right cornea extending over 
the whole of its surface, of three months' duration; patient could only count 
fingers; some pain, slight photophobia and redness, pupil dilates slowly 
under Atrop., but quickly contracts again. Aurum mur., Cinnabar, with 
instillations of Atrop., did no good. Kali mur. 6x cured. Cases of chorio- 
retinitis cured by Kali mur. — Allen & Norton, Ophthalmic Therapeutics, 
p. 106. 

In the Homceopatische Monatsblatter for 1882, p. 95, is a report of thirteen 
cases of cataract cured — eleven with Calcarea fluor. Improvement showed 
itself within eight days. The other two cases required Kali mur. after 
Calcarea fluor. 

The following cases from N. A. J. H., September, 18S5, p. 15, reported 
by George S. Norton, M. D., show the beautiful action of Kali mur. in 
ulceration of the cornea: 

Case of ulcer of the cornea large in size, steadily increasing in extent, 
vascular base, moderate redness, no pain, slight photophobia, profuse lach- 
rymation, nose sore, corners ulcerated. Kali mur 6 . Improvement set in 
at once, and ulcer commenced to heal; within five days the vascularity dis- 
appeared, and in ten days the eye was perfectly well. 

Case of ulcer of the cornea with elevated edges and vascular base, result- 
ing from phlyctenular keratitis; in spite of all treatment it had steadily in- 
creased; cornea hazy around ulcer. Kali mur 6 . The ulcer began at once 
to heal, and in two weeks all inflammatory symptoms had disappeared. 

Ulcer of the cornea from the same cause as the above, also a rapidly in- 
creasing purulent infiltration between the corneal layers. Photophobia well 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 203 

marked; moderate redness and no pain. Several remedies were adminis- 
tered with no benefit. Kali mur 3 . was prescribed, and a rapid cure fol- 
lowed. 

Child with ulcer near centre of cornea, which was deep; infiltration con- 
siderable. Pus in the anterior chamber; moderately red, no pain; Atrop., 
instillation. Hypopyon disappeared, and in twenty-four hours a rapid re- 
covery followed under Kali mur z . 

Mrs. B. L., from C , came to me on account of a swelling on right 

eye which appeared suddenly. A specialist had advised operation; the pal- 
pebral aperture, which was opened with difficulty, was filled with a yellow- 
ish-green, projecting mass. The conjunctiva was infiltrated and sight was 
lost. Kali sulp/1 6 . removed the swelling and inflammatory symptoms com- 
pletely and permanently in one and one-half days. (Quesse.) 

Mrs. M. N., aged 46, was sent to me for treatment on May 9, 1892, by Dr. 
Boericke, with keratitis, involving the lower nasal third of the left cornea. 
The inflammation had existed since the previous Christmas, and had been 
subjected to rigorous allopathic treatment, with no improvement. The 
entire bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva was intensely inflamed. The cor- 
neal surface was vascular, with a decided ring of leucocytes round the 
border of the cornea, limited by the diseased area. There was a dense, ir- 
regular white opacity, reaching down into the interstitial elements, occu- 
pying the center of the affected territory, and covering an area of about 
one-eighth of an inch square. The clouded territory reached to the axis of 
vision. She could with difficulty discern large objects on the temporal side, 
but had no central vision. On May 9th she was put on Kali mur. 3X, every 
three hours. There was a marked improvement during the first twenty- 
four hours, and an astringent which had been given for the conjunctivitis 
was reduced in power and frequency, and finally discontinued. After the 
seventh day the Kali mur. was given in the 6:x, every four hours, and was 
so continued up to the day of discharge. On the 23d vision was ■£$. The 
larger part of the cloudy area had cleared up, and the leucoma had almost 
disappeared, and it is safe to predict a complete restoration of vision in a 
few weeks under Kali -mur. (H. C. French.) 

Child aet. 8, with opacity of both corneas, with fresh ulceration and some 
infiltration, no redness. The ulceration healed, and the infiltration speedily 
cleared up under Kali mur. 6 . 

An ulcer at outer edge of cornea slightly excavated, with vessels running 
to it, improved under this remedy rapidly. 

It may be that Kali mur. will be found useful in cases of clear ulceration 
and absence of infiltration. It is worth a trial. 

A girl had, on the lower edge of the left cornea, a little blister, from 
which a bundle of small veins ran. Feeling of sand in the eye. Edges of 
eyelids are scabby. Kali mur}' 1 , internally and externally, every six hours 
for three days, cured the cornea in ten days, and in three weeks the scurfi- 
ness of the eyelids, which she had had for two years, had nearly disap- 
peared. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From Hg ) 

Dr. Koch writes: An old woman came to me, set. 72. She had worn a 
green shade over her eyes to my recollection, since my younger days, 



204 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

when, as a student, I spent my holidays at Simbach with my grandparents. 
This person complained of a constant burning sensation in her eyes, causing 
a continued flow of smarting tears. This commenced at eight o'clock in 
the morning and lasted till sunset. During the night it was better. She 
had much thirst, but little appetite. Externally the conjunctiva palpebra- 
rum was in a chronic state of inflammation. On each side of the nose there 
were excoriation and eczema of the skin, caused by the flow of acrid tears. 
The punctae lachrymosa were dilated ; but the tear-ducts were unobstructed. 
I hesitated whether I should give Natrum mur. or Arsenic; but Dr. Schiiss- 
ler's special mention of Natrum mur. in regard to these excessive lach- 
rymal secretions determined my choice, and I gave Natrum mur. in water, 
one teaspoonful three times a day. In three weeks the symptoms all greatly 
subsided, and shortly after entirely disappeared. (From Schiissler.) 

I have hitherto only given Natrum phos. in scrofulous subjects, and only 
then when my old remedies, Calcarea card., etc., failed. One case was par- 
ticularly striking on account of its being cured so rapidly. In May last a 
little girl, aet. 8, was brought to me, who suffered from severe conjunctivitis, 
with great dread of light. She had been treated for some time by an ordi- 
nary practitioner, but without effect. I ascertained that her eye affection 
dated from the time she had had measles, some years previous. Calcarea card. 
and other medicines proved ineffectual. The enlargements of the glands 
of the neck, and the creamy secretion of the eyelids, led me to try Natrum 
phos., of which I administered a dose three times daily. A week later on, 
and the child was brought to me, her eyes bright and perfectly cured. (From 
Schiissler. ) 

Louis G , set. 19, came to my office, July 3d, 1886, by advice of his 

physician, Dr. Nichols, of Hoboken, N. J. The young man was of good 
physique and apparently perfectly healthy. He stated that his right eye 
had been "bloodshot" for a week, and that the vision had been steadily 
failing for five days. Examination of the eye showed moderate photopho- 
bia, lachrymation, conjunctival redness and ciliary injection. The cornea 
was very hazy, appearing like ground glass throughout its whole extent, 
but was not vascular; the surface was clear. The vision was reduced to 
counting fingers six inches from the eye. The history of the case, though 
not clear, pointed toward a strumous rather than a syphilitic origin. Atrop. 
was instilled, and Kali mur. was given internally. Under this treatment 
alone he steadily and rapidly improved until he was discharged, August 
19th, with vision \^. On December 27th he was again seen, when the vision 
in the right eye was found to be perfect (■ff)*- But tne disease was making 
its appearance in the left eye, as evidenced by moderate inflammatory symp- 
toms, and cornea hazy at the outer edge. L. V. \§. The same treatment was 
prescribed which had been so successfully employed before, but for two 
weeks the cornea gradually grew more opaque, the redness increased, the 
pain became more marked, as if there were something in the eye, the pho- 
tophobia and lachrymation became excessive, and the vision decreased to 
counting fingers at six inches. Rhus tox. 6x was then alternated with 
Kali mur. 6x, when the sthenic type of the disease soon changed, and the 
inflammatory symptoms rapidly abated, after which, under Kali mur. alone, 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 205 

the improvement continued so long that in eight weeks his vision was |f, 
and later became perfect. 

Dr. Koch informed us that a farm servant came to him, and said he could 
not see. Some time before this, a piece of wood had struck him in the eye. 
He had been treated for it; had had purgatives, leeches and cold water ap- 
plications, and now his sight was quite gone. The particulars of the case 
were these: The bulbus was infiltrated with vascular engorgement. The 
conjunctiva was swollen, and the eyelid also in an irritated and inflamed 
condition. The cornea was dim, with a smoky appearance of the anterior 
chamber [i. e., between the cornea and iris), and some matter could be seen 
floating quite distinctly. I found no foreign body. The subjective results 
were severe burning pain in the eye, as if from a foreign body, and a con- 
tinuous flow of tears. The man had to keep his eye tied up. His appetite 
was good, and pulse normal. As to the therapeutic treatment, I had evi- 
dently to deal with two different affections — hypopyon (matter iu the eye), 
and conjunctivis. First of all I gave Ferritin phos., a dose every two hours, 
and in a week the burning pain and watering of the eye were less. One 
week after this the man complained that his sight had not improved. Now 
I had the task of absorption of the matter before me, as well as the clearing 
of the cornea. To meet the rirst condition I gave Hepar sulph., but after a 
fortnight I could recognize no special progress. I felt rather in a fix with 
the case, as absorption would not take place. Remembering an expression 
of Dr. Quagleo, that he considered Schiissler's Calcarea sulph. a still more 
powerful medicine, I gave some Calcarea sulph. to be taken in water in three 
doses. Scarcely a week after, the man came to me, greatly delighted, say- 
ing he could see gleams of light in the right eye. Positively, I found the 
cornea less cloudy, and could observe that some of the matter had been ab- 
sorbed. I now gave him only a dose night and morning. In three weeks 
absorption was complete, and dimness of the cornea quite removed, and his 
sight restored. Besides all this, all the inflammation of the conjunctiva was 
also cured. (From Schiissler.) 

A woman, aet. 56, from Simbach, who always wore blue spectacles, came 
to see me, as she had become blind in the right aye. The cause and conse- 
quent suffering were as follows: Three years ago, one noon-day in the win- 
ter, she was walking from Arnstorf to Simbach. The whole of the meadows 
were covered with snow, on which the sun was shining brightly, causing a 
strong refraction. Suddenly she felt a severe pain in the right eye, and 
immediately discovered that she had lost the sight of it. She took some 
snow and held it over her eye, which she thought did her some good. On 
reaching home she sent for the doctor, who put a leech to the right temple 
and gave her a strong purgative. She had to keep her bed for three weeks. 
The pain subsided, but her sight did not return. Some time after, she 
traveled all the way to Passau, to consult Dr. E., the oculist. He gave her 
a laxative and some ointment, to be rubbed all around the eye ( Ungl. 
hydrarg.). As the ointment affected the gum and loosened the teeth, she 
stopped using it, her sight being no better. Later on, when she heard that 
Prof. Rothmund had operated on the pastor of Landau for cataract, she 
went to see him. " If this medicine won't help you, you will remain blind 



206 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

for life," were the Professor's words. His prescription was Potassium 
iodide. After having had the prescription made up three times, and using 
it steadily, she felt no improvement, and was quite inconsolable. With her 
right eye she saw nothing; all seemed smoke and mist; and the other eye 
was becoming weaker and weaker from month to month. External exam- 
ination showed the conjunctiva intact, as also the cornea, iris, etc. All 
pointed to internal disease of the inner medium of the eye. I could see 
but little of the retina, as there was a kind of mist over it, which seemed 
to spread from the vitreous humor over the background of the eye. I in- 
troduced the rays of light in different directions, and by this means I was 
better able to obtain sight of the retina. It appeared dim and misty, the 
veins were clearly seen, forming a dark network. In some places there 
were indistinctly defined spots, some larger than others, appearing to me 
like the residue of extravasated blood. The arteries were scarcely visible, 
and seemed to me pale and more contracted than in the normal condition. 
The necessary therapeutic treatment clearly indicated to me was to produce 
abortion of the exuded substance, this being the cause of the dulness of 
sight. According to Professor Rothmund's opinion, inflammation of the 
retina always arises in the connective tissue, and as this exuded substance 
appears of a coagulated nature, which no doubt is fibrinous, and, as is well 
known, can be hypertrophied, and is capable of fatty degeneration, I found 
that of the remedies I could think of the most suitable seemed to be Kali 
mur. I now gave the woman eight powders, each containing two centi- 
grammes; the powder to be dissolved in half a wineglassful of water, a 
tablespoonful to be taken night and morning. A fortnight after, the patient 
came back, saying, " I don't think I am any worse. Please give me some 
more of those powders." She received a dozen, with the same directions. 
One morning she called quite early, and told me in great glee that on rising 
that morning she could see the window-sash quite distinctly. I tested her 
sight from different distances, and found that she had really improved. "I 
can see pretty well through the mist," she said. Kali mur. was continued 
in small doses, and in four months her sight was restored. (Erom Schiissler. ) 

Girl, set. 16, recurring keratitis. Left eye much inflamed, photophobia, 
slight haziness of the cornea, and traversed with red vessels; zonular red- 
ness. Calcarea phos. 3X completely restored the patient. I have never 
found it of any use where the palpebral conjunctiva was much engorged.

ternal recti muscles. Natrum mur. 200 cured. (T. F. Allen.) 

The late Dr. Kafka records a case of incessant lachrymation of the right 
eye, caused by exposure to a strong north wind, and dependent on hyper- 
aemic obstruction of the lachrymal passages. Natrum mur. 6 cured in four 
weeks, and was equally efficacious when, on later occasions, the trouble re- 
turned.— Horn. Recorder, Jan., '93. 



FEVERS, SIMPLE. 207 

FEVERS, SIMPLE. 

See also Special Fevers. 

Ferrum phos. — Catarrhal fevers with quickened pulse. 
Feverishness in all stages, all inflammatory fevers, rheumatic, 
etc., the chief remedy. "The most beneficial results have 
been obtained from its use in the prevention of traumatic 
fever." Synochal fevers. Chill every day at 1 p. M. Dry 
heat of palms, face, throat and chest. 

Kali mur. — With constipation and a thick white fur on the 
tongue. Catarrhal fever, great chilliness, the least cold air 
chills him through, has to sit close to the fire to keep warm 
and still is chilly. Better covered up in bed. (Holbrook.) 

Kali sulph. — When the blood heat rises in the evening it 
assists in producing perspiration, and warm coverings should 
frequently be applied and this remedy given very frequently. 
Also fevers from blood-poisoning. 

Natrum mur. — Hay fever with watery discharge from the 
eyes and nose. 

Kali phos. — Nervous fevers, high temperature, quick and 
irregular pulse, nervous excitement or great weakness and de- 
pression. In fevers of low type, dry mouth, sordes on the 
teeth and delirium, this remedy has produced the grandest 
results. (Meadow.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

M. L., a gentleman, aet. 38, took a chill while in a state of perspiration. 
He suffered in consequence from tearing pains in the limbs, noises in the 
ears, with dulness of hearing and frontal headache. These pains were ac- 
companied by fever; and although he had night-sweats, they brought no 
relief. The appetite was poor and the tongue covered with a white coating. 
I gave a small quantity of Kali mur. in water every two hours. A rapid 
general improvement set in, but pain and numbness in the feet were still 
present. Also the habitual perspiration of the feet was still absent. At this 
stage the patient received Silicea, two doses daily for a week. Perspiration 
of feet was re-established, and on the reappearance of this the rest of the 
ailments left him, and health was quite restored. (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. G. H. Martin reports a case of high fever (104°), general exhaustion, 
lameness in muscles, headache and diminished appetite, in which he pre-

following day that his symptoms were worse. Ferrum phos. 6x, which was 
then prescribed, caused an immediate improvement.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mrs. B., aged 58, anaemic, and of nervous temperament has been suffer- 
ing for over ten years with severe attacks of neuralgia of the stomach. The 
attacks would last from four to ten hours, and would consist of a series of 
paroxysms, each of which would last five or ten minutes, with a correspond- 
ing interval of rest between. 

Her suffering was simply terrible. Up to the time I saw her nothing had 
been given her but palliative treatment, principally hypodermics of mor- 
phine. 

When I saw her first she had been suffering for an hour. I at once gave 



212 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

five grains of Mag. phos. 3x, in hot water, and repeated the dose ever}- 
fifteen minutes. After the third dose the pain abated. That attack was 
conquered. I then prescribed the same remedy in ten-grain doses, after 
each meal, and after three mild attacks she has had no further trouble for 
over three years. (B. A. Sonders, M. D., Winterset, O. ) 

Sudden attacks of deathly sickness at the stomach, coming on at no par- 
ticular time, even in sleep, and lasting one-half or one hour, appetite poor. 
Ferrum phos. cured, and appetite became ravenous. (Raue, Rec. Horn. 
Lit., 1875.) 

Kali Sulph. in Catarrh ok the Stomach.— Mr. M , aged 38 

years, had been suffering with his stomach for several years. He had a 
yellow coated tongue and much fulness and pressure at the pit of the 
stomach. He could not remember when he did not have pain in the 
stomach more or less. Hot drinks made him worse, and he never 
was thirsty. His skin was generally dry and often hot and rough, 
and abdomen was cold to touch. He had some bronchial irritation. If he 
got chilled he would have colicky pains in his stomach which would extend 
into the bowels. 

At times he would have bloating of the abdomen. Kali sulph. 3X was 
given with some directions about his living, and in a few weeks he 
was well. Not being used to this form of medicine he was gieatly sur- 
prised when he was relieved. (O. A. Palmer, M. D. ) 

An officer suffered for a long time from pains in the abdomen, together 
with pressure and fulness in the stomach and constipation. The tongue 
was coated with a yellow slime. He had been treated for three weeks by an 
allopath without any result whatever. The bowels were so constipated that 
he could only have a passage by taking a strong purgative. Kali sulph. 6x, 
three powders in water, dose every two hours. The result was surprising. 
The next morning the patient had a natural stool, and the abdominal dis- 
tress was nearly all gone. In two weeks he was entirely cured, having taken 
only two powders. — Pop. Zeit., Dec, 1885. 

A young man with chronic dyspepsia. After trying several remedies with- 
out effect, I discovered in the mouth a thin, yellow, creamy coating on the 
soft palate. This induced me to give the patient Natrum phos., which 
cured him in a short space of time. (C. Hg. ) 

The following is a resume" from a case in A. H. Z., '82, p. 51: Woman 
suffered for five years from dyspepsia. After eating, nausea, vomiting of 
food; the vomit is so sour that it sets teeth on edge; cannot bear sour things. 
Vomiting appears in the morning and after eating, accompanied by cepha- 
lalgia. Hammering in the forehead and temples so violent that she fears 
apoplexy. Menstruates every three weeks with profuse flow. Troubled 
sleep, disturbed by anxious dreams. Feels tired in the morning, and feels 
so tight in her clothes that she must loosen them. Ferrum phos. 6 three 
times a day, a dose before meals, cured the case. " Many symptoms pointed 
to Natrum phos . , but the totality of the symptoms favored Ferrum phos. 

Notes from letter to Schiissler by a doctor in Paderborn {A. H. Z., 1882, 
p. 102): I recently had a case exactly like the preceding, healed in ten days 
by Ferrum phos. 10 , after I had treated him five weeks in vain with Natrum 
phos. 



GASTRIC DERANGEMENTS. 213 

A young man complained of an unnatural appetite. He had to eat almost 
every hour, feeling such an intense craving for food, yet he felt exhausted 
and languid. There were no secondary symptoms present. The tongue 
was clean, the urine was not increased, evacuations normal. Kali phos. 
cured the patient in the course of two days. (From Schiissler.) 

Farmer B. consulted me for a singular affection. All acid food caused an 
attack beginning with a strong chill, followed by fever and profuse weaken- 
ing sweats. Natruni mur. s . After fourteen days she informed me that the at- 
tacks had entirely ceased, and the partaking of acid foods did not cause him 
the least discomfort. (Dr. Ouesse. ) 

A landed proprietor, set. 44, wrote to me a few weeks ago: " The medicine 
I have taken very steadily, and for a long time attended strictly to my diet. 
In spite of this, my trouble is no better; I may almost say it has become 
worse. The conditions were these: 1. I feel almost constantly a taste as of 
bile. 2. My tongue is covered with a curdy, bitter coating. 3. During the 
day, especially after food, I suffer from eructations of gases, which have 
either a bitter taste or are tasteless. 4. My complexion is rather yellow. 5. 
The appetite very slight; no thirst. My favorite beverage, beer, is distaste- 
ful to me. 6. I incline to shiver, and am somewhat faint. 7. My head is 
but little involved, but feel a constant pressure over one eye. 8. Stools are 
normal, but scanty, on account of spare diet. The whole condition discloses 
that I have bile in the stomach." Thus far the patient's own report. To 
this I may add that the patient in question had already taken by my orders 
Nux vom. and Pulsat. He had used the waters of Marienbad the previous 
summer on the recommendation of another medical man. I sent him now 
Natrum sulph., with the request to take daily three doses of this powder. 
The gentleman came six or seven days later to my consulting rooms to 
thank me for the valuable medicine. " The powder," he said, " has really 
worked wonders. All my ailments have disappeared as if by magic, and I 
feel at last perfectly well." (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. Mossa, Bamberg, reports: Toward the end of last year I received a let- 
ter with the following details, and asking me to forward some medicine: 
" My boy, a child, set. 7, hitherto healthy and strong, has been suffering 
from pains in the stomach for some weeks. Latterly he has vomited all his 
food, sometimes immediately after taking it, and at other times not till 
during the night. The child has now become very emaciated. Last week 
he was frequently feverish. This has, however, not returned since taking 
the medicine our doctor here has given him The boy complains of much 
exhaustion." To form a scientific diagnosis of the case on such informa- 
tion was clearly impossible. But, as it was not convenient for me person- 
ally to examine the case, I had to do my best with the details furnished. 
The nature of the abdominal pains pointed to swelling and enlargement of 
the organs of the viscera, liver, spleen, etc.; also the feverish attacks, prob- 
ably subdued by quinine, and the vomiting of food, all coincided with my 
surmises. As to the selection of the medicine, I hesitated considerably, 
and then decided to give Ferritin phos., twelve powders, one night and 
morning. The report some time after was very favorable. The fever had 
not returned; the vomiting of food and pains in the stomach had quite ceased 



214 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

soon after taking the medicine. The little fellow was so much stronger that 
he attended scoohl again. (From Schiissler. ) 

W. Watson, set. 40. Ulceration of stomach, vomited all his food, and lat- 
terly the egesta had the appearance of coffee-grounds. He had suffered 
from vomiting and indigestion more or less for fourteen years, had seen 
many doctors, and taken much medicine without avail. .1 advised him to 
take Ferrum pkos. 6 and Natrum pkos. 6 , in usual quantities, and a table- 
spoonful every two hours alternately for a fortnight. On his second visit 
he was free from vomiting, had little pain, and felt greatly better. He con- 
tinued another ten days with the same remedies, and returned quite well. 
On making special inquiry if he had nothing troubling him, he said: "No, 
the only thing I sometimes trouble myself about, is thinking after taking 
any kind of food, whether it will trouble me, but it never dees." His cure 
has proved permanent, as it is now nearly two years since, and he is keep- 
ing well. (M. D. W. From Schiissler.) 

Patient with troublesome burning in the stomach after eating and con- 
tinuing until next meal time; pain develops one or two hours after meals; 
tongue light-gray, no bad taste, no tenderness, bowels regular, stools nor- 
mal, no thirst, the burning was so troublesome as to keep him awake at 
night. Natrum pkos. cured. (Med. Era.) 

Child with indigestion after typhoid fever. Everything soured on his 
stomach, breath sour, vomited curdled milk, and sour-smelling fluids, green 
stool alternating with constipation, was troubled with colic, white-coated 
tongue and white around mouth, fretful, cross and restless. Natrum pkos. 
cured. {Med. Era.) 

An old man, some 60 years of age, came to see me; he had "dyspepsia," 
the doctors said. Emaciated, pale, swarthy, no appetite, restless, bowels 
inactive, stools sometimes light-colored and at times costive, tongue thickly 
coated with a brownish-yellow tinge, bitter taste, conjunctiva bluish-white, 
skin wrinkled and bowels retracted and shrunken, shrivelled, and a pain in 
the stomach of a burning character after eating; and from the general char- 
acter of the case, assimilation was greatly at fault. The man had been, 
and was at the time, taking Argentum in pill form, from a "regular," 
three doses a day, and had been for a year or more; all to no purpose ex- 
cept to hasten the emaciation. After surveying the situation and taking all 
conditions, I at once put him on Natrum sulph. 6x, three doses a day before 
meals, and Kali p/ios. 6x, as a nerve remedy. These two remedies perfectly 
cured the ' ' dyspepsia ' ' and all the other troubles, so that in about three 
weeks he was a well man, the Natrum sulph. correcting all the liver and 
stomach trouble and the Kali pkos. building up the nerve forces. (A. P. 
Davis, M. D. )

CLINICAL CASES. 

Natrum phos. 3X relieved pressure in thirteen cases of goitre by taking a 
dose three times a day; pressure was relieved in from three to five days. In 
some instances a cure was effected. It is well to continue the medicine from 
four to six weeks. (J. S. Skeels, M. D., Hahnemajinian Monthly, 1880.) 

A swelling under the chin the size of a pigeon's egg was considerably 
reduced by Kali mur., but still there was induration (hardness) with an 
uneven surface. Calcarea fluor., taken for a few days, caused it to dis- 
appear altogether. Shortly after its disappearance the patient had slight 
conjunctivitis with swelling, which Kali mur. soon cured. (Dr. K. From 
Schiissler.) 

Grauvogl, iu his Text-book, page 360, gives a remarkable result from six 
weeks' use of Natrum sulph. in a case of chronic swelling of the cervical 
glands, so extensive as to practically obliterate the neck. All known treat- 
ment at the universities failed; but Natrum sulph. 3X, every two hours, pro- 
duced rapid improvement in the swelling and general health of the patient.

lated at the meeting of the California State Horn. Medical Society a case of 
a boy, 12 years of age, who had an adenoid growth which caused nasal 
catarrh and deafness of one ear to such a degree that he could not hear the 
watch when pressed close to the ear. " By the administration of Calcarea 
phosphorica," he said, " for four months, the patient can now hear the watch 
at six feet, and the catarrh has almost entirely disappeared." — Pacific Coast 
Jo urn. of Horn. 

Calcarea Fluorata in Long-lasting and Indolent Glandular En- 
largements of the Cervical Lymphatics.— Dr. Sybel speaks very highly 
of the fluoride of lime in the treatment of indolent and long-lasting glandu- 
lar enlargements of the cervical lymphatics, and especially where the hard- 
ness of the gland is pronounced. He thinks that similar results might be 
obtained in enlarged bronchial and mesenteric glands. 

Success was obtained in a number of cases; the three following are pre- 
sented as typical examples of its action: 

i. An unmarried woman, of twenty-five years, had had for many years a 
group of enlarged glands, which, situated under the right side of the lower 
jaw, decidedly disfigured her face. Beyond a small gland at the margin of 
the group, which showed a tendency to suppurate, the whole mass was hard, 
showed no inclination to inflame, and was not sensitive to pressure. The 
small and suppurating gland healed, with a discharge of a caseous mass, 
under Hepar sulph. and Silicea, yet the general enlargement remained un- 
altered. Calcarea fluorica 5X was then given once a day. In three weeks 
the patient claimed a slight diminution, and as this gradually became more 
pronounced the reme ly was continued, so that in six to eight weeks the 
conglomerate mass resolved itself into isolated glands, which finally re- 
mained of the size of hazel nuts The patient thought all further treatment 
unnecessary, and immediately married. The time of treatment lasted from 
April 25th to the end of November — a relatively short time for such an in- 
veterate affection. 

2. A robust young man of twenty years presented in the right submaxillary 
region, immediately under the jawbone, a conglomerate of several hard 
lymphatic glands, which, by their size, had a very deforming effect upon his 
entire face; one at the edge, of the size of a hazel nut, was apparently about 
to suppurate. The remainder were hard and painless; they had been noticed 
since childhood, though they had attained their present size only four or five 
years ago. Silica and Kali chloratum controlled the suppuration, and Cal- 
carea fluorata in alternation with the Chlorate of potash were continued, 
one of each powder daily. The diminution in size of the glands was con- 
tinuously noticeable, and at the end of sixteen months they had wholly dis- 
appeared. 

3. An unmarried woman of fifty years had carried for years an indurated 
gland in the right submaxillary region of the size of a small hen's egg, but 
which was neither red nor painful. She had tried all sorts of external 
remedies without success. Calcarea fluorata 5x, one powder morning and 
evening, and later, only one a day, caused the enlargement to disappear in 
six weeks; a relatively short time for a glandular enlargement which had 
persisted for eight 3'ears. 



GONORRHEA. 217 

In a child of five years, who for the past two had had numerous and in- 
durated glandular enlargements in the submaxillar}' region, the same drug 
in the fifth decimal trituration dissipated them in a few weeks. — Berliner 
Zeitsch) ift. 



GONORRH(EA. 

Natrum phos. — This, according to Schiissler's last (25th) 
edition, is the principal remedy for gonorrhoea. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammatory stage of gonorrhoea. (N. B. 
— Avoid pressing along the urethra to bring out pus, as it is 
very injurious, and retards a cure.) Even walking, going 
up-stairs, etc., is a great impediment to the cure. 

Kali mur. — This is the chief remedy in gonorrhoea. It is, 
in fact, a specific for cases in which swelling exists, whether 
from subcutaneous or interstitial exudation. Gleet combined 
with eczema, latent or visible, or a disposition to glandular 
swellings. Figwarts. 

Kali phos. — Gonorrhoea with discharge of blood. Balanitis 
and balano-posthitis. 

Silicea. — Gonorrhoea cases of long standing, with thick, 
fetid pus. Constant feeling of chilliness, even during exercise. 
Balanitis. 

The following from the pen of the late Dr. T. S. Hoyne has 
a direct bearing on the subject and therefore we give it in full : 

Silicea. — This remedy is frequently condemned by homoe- 
opathic physicians, or at least is often adjudged of little value 
in the treatment of chronic affections. I have jotted down a 
few cases which may prove of interest. 

Mr. A., a street-car driver about 48 years of age, with sandy 
hair and beard, and of rather slight build, came to me with 
gleet which had been constantly with him for a period of over 
ten years ; he had during this time tried all sorts of remedies 
with only temporary benefit. Injections of various composi- 
tions had controlled it for a brief period, but the discharge in- 
variably reappeared after the stoppage of the injection or even 
during its continuance. Dilatation of the urethra helped him 
only for a few days. 



2i8 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

The usual routine of remedies, with slight benefit or ag- 
gravation as the case might be, was persisted in until the 
patient became discouraged and did nothing for two or three 
years. 

I obtained the following symptoms at my first and only 
interview with him : There was a slight discharge of a thin 
watery character from the urethra every morning, also a slight 
discharge of prostatic fluid while straining at stool ; there 
was some itching and a few moist spots about the scrotum ; 
bowels constipated nearly all the time, the stool consisting of 
hard lumps evacuated only by great straining ; only at the 
rarest intervals did he have a loose stool ; some burning in the 
anus after stool. Whereas the patient had formerly been 
always in good spirits he was now inclined to be very irrita- 
ble from the slightest cause, and was frequently despondent. 
The sexual desire was very weak, and after coition he felt as 
if bruised. He said that he took cold easily, and was then 
liable to a nightly cough. 

Upon the strength of these symptoms he received Sil. 200, 
and I never saw the patient again. A number of months 
afterward another driver on the same car line called upon me 
for some of the medicine that cured Mr. A. 

Mr. B., a bright young clerk aged about 30, came to consult 
me about his gleet which was the result of a badly treated 
gonorrhoea. He had been through the regular course of treat- 
ment pursued by allopaths and some homceopathists. He told 
me that the gonorrhceal discharge had been suppressed sev- 
eral times by injections, the last time being followed by a 
right sharp attack of orchitis, which had laid him up for a 
number of days. He then tried a homoeopathic physician 
who gave him a number of remedies without decided benefit, 
and then resorted to mild injections which were worse than 
useless for they converted the remnants of the gonorrhoea into 
a gleet, which had remained unaffected by all sorts of treat- 
ment. 

I found that the discharge was thin and offensive, very 
slight in quantity. He had rather frequent emissions, the 



GONORRHOEA. 2IO, 

discharge sometimes being tinged with blood. The urine 
was turbid and deposited a yellowish sand at times. He 
could not hold his urine as long as formerly and had to rise 
once or twice at night to void it. He also had a cold, offen- 
sive perspiration of the feet and usually a general perspiration 
of the whole body every morning. He said that he felt tired 
all of the time and was disinclined to do any work that he 
could possibly avoid. He was, like the former patient, very 
sensitive to the cold air and took cold easily ; his sleep was 
restless and filled with frightful dreams. In the morning on 
rising he experienced a slight dizziness. 

December 10, Sil. 200 was prescribed. On the 17th he 
reported that the medicine made him worse at first, increasing 
the discharge and making him urinate oftener than before. 
Sac. lac. was given for two weeks, but the symptoms remained 
the same day after day. 

December 31, Sil. c. m. was given, which was also followed 
by a marked aggravation of all the symptoms. Sac. lac. was 
prescribed for three weeks, but there was no apparent change 
in his symptoms for the better. 

January 25, I gave him Sil. 12, which aggravated the 
symptoms for a few days and then they gradually disap- 
peared. The patient has had no return of the trouble. 

Kali sulph. — Gonorrhoea with a slimy yellow or greenish 
discharge. Gleet. Old gonorrhoeas. 

Natrum mur. — Chronic gonorrhoea. Transparent, watery

CLINICAL CASES. 

In the Pop. Zeit., Berlin. Verein Horn. Aerzte, April, ]886, Fen-um 
phos. if recommended in fresh cases of gonorrhoea followed by Kali mur. 
and Kali stilph. 

A man, aet. 70, suffered for three years from discharge from the urethra; 
secretion small in quantity; clear mucus; on urinating, violent burning- 
sticking pains. Kali sulpk., Kali mur. and Natrum mur. did no good. 
Magnesia phos. 6 cured the case in four weeks. The character of the pains 
was the prominent indication. (Schiissler, Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1875 ) 

Mr. K., set. 32, had had gleet for five years; discharge of a thick, yellow 
consistency, with little or no pain. Cured with two prescriptions of Natrum 
sulpk. (J. A. Harrison, M. D.) 

HEMORRHAGE. 

Ferrum phos. — Bleeding from wounds externally and in- 
ternally, in conjunction with surgical aid. Epistaxis of bright 
red blood, whether from injury or otherwise ; this generally 
suffices, especially in children. Hemorrhage of bright red 
blood, rapidly coagulating. Vomiting of bright red blood. 
Tendency to nosebleed in rapidly growing children.

debility, weakness or old age, predisposition to bleeding of the 
gums, nose, etc. L,oss of blood if dark, blackish, thin like 
coffee-grounds, not coagulating. Blood putrid, causing symp- 
toms of decomposition. Septic hemorrhage.

not coagulating. Epistaxis on stooping, when coughing, 
with soreness of limbs. 

Calcarea fluor. — Haemoptysis; bright red blood; short 
hacking cough from over-exertion. 



HEMORRHAGE. 221 

Natrum sulph. — " I have known this remedy in several 
cases to produce violent epistaxis when wrongly given. In a 
recent case the 200 potency produced nosebleed, vomiting 
and purging after every dose taken." (E. H. H.) 

CLINICAL CASES 

About twelve years ago I began treating a girl, four years of age, for fre- 
quent epistaxis, later for hemorrhage of the tongue and gums, and alarming 
nosebleed which could only be controlled by plugging the posterior nares. 
During the year I plugged the nose several times, applied styptics to mouth 
and tongue, gave as best I could the indicated remedies: Ham., Bell., Nit. 
acid, Ipecac, China, etc. I classed her as a bleeder, and had the gravest ap- 
prehension for her when she should arrive at maturity and menstruation be 
established. After treating her for about a year for frequent alarming hem- 
orrhages I gave her Ferr. phos. 3X trit., three grains three times a day, and 
continued its use quite regularly for six months. No attacks occurred while 
taking the remedy. She remained strong and well, maturing at 14 years of 
age with normal flow. Had teeth extracted without hemorrhage, and when 
she left the city, one year ago, was in good health and menstruating norm- 
ally. 

In December, '95, Mrs. B ■, aged 65, applied for treatment, present- 
ing ecchymosed spots on legs and thighs, varicose condition of veins and 
cedema of feet and legs. She received Ferr. phos. 3X, every three hours, 
and improvement was prompt, and at the end of two weeks recovery com- 
plete. No return of trouble at present date. 

Baby B , aged two years, returned after a five weeks' sojourn at the 

seashore, where he was taken in a seemingly hopeless condition from maras- 
mus, and presented the following symptoms: Extreme emaciation and pros- 
tration, anaemic, sweating head, legs and feet swollen, ecchymosed spots on 
legs, effusion of blood about the gums, offensive and at times bloody diar- 
rhoea and cold extremities. The swelling of legs had the appearance of 
oedema, not pitting on pressure, however, and the slightest movement 
caused crying from pain. The epiphyses were not enlarged, and therefore 
I considered the swelling and pain to be caused by effusion of blood in the 
deeper tissues, constituting, to my mind, a cass of scurvy. This child be- 
gan to improve immediately after taking Ferr. phos. 3X, and Sil. Occasion- 
ally orange juice and grape juice were added to his diet, and he made a 
steady and uninterrupted recovery. 

Miss B •, a teacher in public school, summoned me hastily one day 

last August. I found her bleeding from the nose and uterus with purpuric 
spots on the thighs and legs. The bleeding ceased after the third dose of 
Fe7'r. phos. 3X. I learned that for some years she had had one attack yearly, 
and prevailed upon her to take one dose a day of the remedy, which she has 
done to the present time. The purpura disappeared in about ten days and 
has not returned; she tells me her general health is better than it has been 
for many years. I wait anxiously to see if the purpura comes next year. 
No change was made in her diet. (C. E. Gorham, M. D., Albany.) 



222 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Hemoptysis which had continued in spite of remedies was arrested by 
Calc. ftuor. (M.J. Bleim. ) 

Dr. E. B. Rankin, in the Southern Journal of Homoeopathy, reports a case 
of hemorrhage of the bowels, of dark, black blood, viscid and profuse, cured 
by Kali mur. 6x. 

Lady, get. 72, large and corpulent, dark eyes and hair, subject to attacks 
of apoplectiform cerebral congestion, was found in apoplectic state, with 
cold extremities, clammy sweat on forehead and face; head hot and livid; 
unconscious low; stertorous breathing. Ferrum phos. 6 , teaspoonful every 
half hour; consciousness returned in two hours. Was up the next day. 
The same remedy has been used in subsequent attacks with the same results. 
Patient states that never before had she been relieved so soon and effectually. 
(F. A. Rockwith, M. D., American Journal Homoeopathic Materia Medica, 

I875-) 

Dwight H., set. 12, has been subject to nosebleed for past few years. Dur- 
ing this time he became very anaemic. Has taken different remedies from 
the family physician without permanently arresting the trouble. I was 
called to see bim after a very severe attack, and found him much prostrated 
and blanched from loss of blood. Gave him at once China off. ix, in water, 
for a few hours, till I could send him some powders of Ferrum phos. 6 , which 
he took in solution for some weeks, a few doses each day, with result of per- 
manently arresting the hemorrhage. (C. T. M.) 

HEMORRHOIDS. 

Note. — In the treatment of hemorrhoids, attention must 
be paid to disturbances in the function of the liver, the diges- 
tive organs, etc., which are, as a rule, present and stand in 
close connection with the former ; otherwise a radical cure of 
hemorrhoids cannot be insured.

red, fluid, but with a tendency to form a thick, soft mass. Be- 
fore induration.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Patient who, among other symptoms, had some visual disturbances, and 
when the headache was worse and vision most disturbed he had a sense of 
fear, especially at night, and an eruption about the ankles which began with 
itching. I gave him Nat. phos. 6x and that was the end of his sufferings. 
(Chas. Mohr, M. D.) 

A very interesting case came under my treatment. A lady, fifty-five years 



HEART, AFFECTIONS OF. 227 

old, had such excruciating headache that she was partially insane; she 
claimed her brain was ruptured and running out of her eyes. A yellow-gray 
curd was exuding from her eyes. She had been suffering for some days. I 
gave her Kali phos. 3X, which acted like a charm. In two hours the dose 
was repeated, and the result was perfect relief. Some four weeks later she 
had another attack, but not so bad. I gave her Kali phos. 6x, and wishing 
to watch the case, I called in two hours. She said: "That was not the same 
medicine you gave me before; the action is barely perceptible." I then 
gave 3X, and in two hours she was well. Now, I have always been in favor 
of high potencies, but this experience seems to indicate that quantity comes 
in as a factor; if so, it should be noted that one dose of 3X is equal to one 
thousand of 6x. (Selected.) 

1. Severe headache, general soreness of the vertex, soreness of scalp, 
cannot bear to have hair touched, great nervousness at night. Ferrutnphos. 
6x gave speedy relief. 

2. Frontal headache, relieved by nosebleed which followed. Ferrum 
phos. 6x cured. 

3. Patient could not see; seemed as if blood rushed into the eyes. Fer- 
rum phos. 6x cured. 

4. Dull pain on top of head during menses cured as by magic by a few 
doses of Ferrum phos. (Raue, Rec. Horn. Lit., 1875.) 

5. Headache beginning every night at ten o'clock with chill or congestive 
symptoms. Magnesia phos., iox dil., cured. (Translated by S. L.) 

Case of young lady with excruciating nervous headache, with great sensi- 
tiveness to noise, during the second day of menstruation. Kali phos P pro- 
duced, immediately after taking it, a great increase of the menstrual 
flow with sudden relief of the headache. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From 
Hg.) 

M. K., aet. 16, has suffered for years from periodically returning head- 
aches. The pain is concentrated in the right temple, and of a boring nature, 
as if a screw were being driven in— as the patient expresses herself. Preced- 
ing this pain there are burning sensations at the pit of the stomach, bitter 
taste in the mouth and lassitude. These symptoms are only felt at night, or 
in the morning. When the attack comes on, the patient is quite unable to 
attend to any ordinary duties. Generally vomiting of bile follows, and then 
improvement sets in. Natrum sulph. daily, the size of a bean, dissolved in 
water, and taken repeatedly, cured the young lady entirely. (From 
Sch ussier.) 

Young lady, set. 16, suffered for years from periodical attacks of sick 
headache, characterized by boring pain in right temple, preceded by burn- 
ing in stomach, bitter taste, languor. Pain comes on at night or in morn- 
ing, followed by vomiting of bile, with subsequent relief. Natrum sulph. 6 , 
daily doses, cured permanently.

every dose, cured permanently by Natrum mur. 

Obstinate case of singultus in a patient suffering from typhoid fever, 
almost continued, so violent in character that the patient was sore for three 
days. Other remedies were tried without effect; prescribed Magnesia phos. 
The result was remarkable: within an hour the difficulty was modified, and 
the next day he was very much improved, and speedily yielded to the con- 
tinued use of the reme ly. (John Fearn, M. D., California Med. Journal,

CLINICAL CASES. 

Miss R., set. 16, menstruated once when thirteen years old, and not since. 
Was a remarkably health}' and well-nourished girl, until three months be- 
fore she consulted me, when she began to decline. She lost flesh, became 
pale, languid and weak, and suffered much with her stomach. When I was 
called to see her she was not able to retain her food, and it would be vomited 
as soon as taken; complained of great pain in the stomach immediately after 
eating, even the lightest food; on several occasions the pain caused severe 
hysterical convulsions. The tongue was but slightly coated white; bowels 
constipated; abdomen tympanitic and very sensitive to the slightest press- 
ure; no fever, but much thirst; water, like food, was ejected as soon as 
swallowed. At first I thought that I had a case of nervous dyspepsia to deal 
with, but finally concluded I had a case of true hysteria, as she was so ex- 
tremely nervous and hyperaesthetic all over, and much given to tears when 
any one was around. I also found that she had the convulsions whenever 
her plans were thwarted in any way, and upon my threatening to put her in 
cold water if she had another she stopped them. Fermm phos. I2x relieved 
the stomach trouble in one week, and Kali phos. i2x relieved all of the other 
symptoms in two weeks or more, and my patient was soon as strong and 
healthy as before her illness. Menstruation returned two months after, and 
she has been all right since. (Geo. H. Martin, M. D., S. F. ) 

Miss B., aet. 50, tall, slender and dark, had been suffering many years 
from an excessively nervous condition, and would become hysterical upon 
the slightest provocation. She also suffered much from spasmodic reten- 
tion of urine, and often had to use the catheter. One day she came to me, 
saying that the end of the catheter had been broken off while she was using 
it, and the end was still in the bladder. I dilated the urethra with my fore- 
finger, and soon recovered it, the bladder at the time being well filled with 
urine. She would not take an anaesthetic, although I advised it, as the pain 
was intense. That evening, six hours after the removal of the catheter, she 
sent for me, saying that she was in great pain and very ill. When I saw 



232 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

her I found her very nervous, and suffering much from pain in the bladder 
and abdomen, with a great desire to urinate. The abdomen was enormously 
distended and very sensitive. There was no fever. I gave Belladonna 3X 
and returned next morning. Symptoms all worse, but still no fever. At- 
tempted to drain urine, but could not introduce the soft rubber catheter, as 
the spasm of the urethra was so great. Two hours later returned with silver 
catheter; introduced it, but only got a few drops of urine. Thinking there 
might be some uterine trouble, I determined to examine and find out. As 
she was so sensitive, I gave her a little Chloroform. She had not taken but 
a few inhalations when the tympanitis disappeared. I examined uterus and 
bladder, and found nothing abnormal, so concluded she was suffering from 
hysteria. Gave Magnesia phos. I2x, which very shortly relieved bladder 
symptoms, and Kali phos. i2x cured the case in about ten days. She has 
had no more return of the trouble since, and the other symptoms of hysteria 
were also much modified. (Geo. H. Martin, M. D., S. F. ) 

INFLAMMATIONS IN GENERAL. 

Ferrum phos. — In the hypersemic stage, indifferent as to 
the organ involved and regardless of cause. Always before ex- 
udation has set in. 

Kali mur. — In the second stage, recent cell-proliferation 
and opaque, white discharge. 

Kali sulph. — Riper yellow, fatty, degenerated secretion. 

Calcarea sulph. — In the third stage, that of resolution, 
with purulent, profuse secretion. 

Silicea. — Lower form, suits also the lower nerve-irritability. 
(J. C. Morgan.) 

INFLUENZA. 

La Grippe. 

Natrum sulph. — This is the remedy for influenza. Since 
the disease is caused by an excess of water in the cellular 
tissues. In the sequelae of this disease brought on by treat- 
ment with other remedies Natrum sulph. is curative. Numer- 
ous cases have been reported as cured with this remedy. 

Kali phos. — Nervous weakness and prostration following 
an attack of La Grippe. Tired in the morning, twitching of 
various muscles and neuralgic pains. 

Magnesia phos. — Neuralgias following La Grippe, spas- 
modic in character, periodical and relieved by warmth. 



INTERMITTENT FEVER. 233 

INTERMITTENT FEVER. 

Natrum sulph. — Intermittent fever in all its stages requires 
this remedy chiefly (3X trit.). Hydrogenoid constitution, 
worse in damp weather. Tertian form. The applicability of 
Natrum sulph. is shown by the following physiologico-chemi- 
cal considerations. In ague patients the quantity of water in 
the blood-corpuscles and in the blood serum is increased, and 
consequently the amount of oxygen taken up by the blood is 
diminished. Natrum sulph. promotes the removal of excess 
of water from the organism. When by its action the propor- 
tion of water in the corpuscles has been reduced to the normal 
condition, the corpuscles are again able to take up the full 
amount of oxygen and distribute it to the tissues. As the 
tissues are in this way brought back from their pathological 
to their normal physiological condition, they are enabled to 
remove from the organism the cause of the ague — be it 
marsh-gas (miasma), or bacteria (fungi). Dry mountain air, 
which is rich in oxygen, can cure ague spontaneously, be- 
cause the organism takes up a large amount of oxygen and 
disposes of much water by evaporation. Ague patients must 
abstain from milk diet, buttermilk, eggs, fat and fish. " In- 
termittent fever, bilious, bloody stools ; greenish or bronze 
colored coating on back of tongue, a very constant symptom ; 
conjunctiva yellow." (Duffield.) 

Natrum phos. — Intermittent fever with vomiting of acid, 
sour masses. 

Magnesia phos. — Intermittent fever with cramps in the 
calves. Chills run up and down the back at 7 p. M., also 
severe chill at 9 A. m. Great prostration. Ague with violent 
cramps and blueness of extremities. 

Kali mur. — Intermittent fever when the fur at the back of 
the tongue is of a grayish-white or white appearance. (In 
alternation with Natrum sulph.') 

Kali phos. — Intermittent fever with debilitating, profuse 
perspiration. Quartan form. 

Ferrum phos. — Intermittent fever with vomiting of food. 



234 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic intermittent fever of children, as 

an intercurrent remedy. 

Natrum mur. — Chill about 10 or n o'clock a. m. Great 
thirst throughout all stages. Violent headache relieved by- 
perspiration. Fever-blisters around lips. If hydroa be pres- 
ent in first onset of the fever, even if not present later, after 
the abuse of quinine. In nursing children, hydroa on the lips 
and later the ulcers which succeed them, with forenoon at- 
tacks, are guiding. (H. C. Allen.) Masked intermittents 
appearing as neuralgia of head and face. 

Kali sulph. — Intermittent fever with yellow, slimy coated 
tongue. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mr. Iv., chills and fever for three months. Had quinine and other reme- 
dies. Paroxysms every other day at n a. m., with severe pain in limbs and 
small of back ; chill lasts nearly two hours, with no thirst during chill. 
Fever all the afternoon, with bursting headache and intense thirst for large 
quantities of cold water. Little or no perspiration, eats and sleeps well, 
and next day resumes his occupation. Nalrum mur. 30 trit , every four 
hours, during theapyrexia. Next chill light and no return. (H. C. Allen.) 

Dr. Sherbino, of Dallas, Texas, reports two cases of ague cured with 
Magnesia phos. 13X. The indications were: Before chill, pain in the neck, 
stiffness, pain down the spine; during chill, cramps in lower limbs, amel- 
iorated by some one taking hold of the foot or feet and drawing on them or 
extending them [which will relieve any cramp in extremities.— Eds.]; thirst 
before and during chill, none during heat, or sweat relieves; cramps and 
vomiting at same time during chill. (S J. H.) 

KIDNEY, AFFECTIONS OF. 

Ferrum phos. — In Bright's disease, when feverishness is 
present. Inflammatory stage of nephritis; all inflammatory 
pain is relieved by this remedy. " Urine has a profuse mu- 
cous sediment ; blood is red and charged with blood corpus- 
cles." (Arndt.) 

Natrum mur. — Tension and heat in renal region. Brick- 
dust sediment ; haematuria. Dr. Menninger claims that this 
drug will produce a decrease in the amount of albumen, and 
an increase in the amount of urea, and a very marked increase 
in the quantity of chlorides eliminated. In Bright's disease 



LABOR, PREGNANCY, ETC. 235 

he recommends it as an adjunct to all recognized modes of 
treatment. 

Kali mur. — Inflammatory diseases of the kidneys, for the 
swelling. Croupous nephritis. Cardiac asthma with sensa- 
tion as if the heart and lungs were constricted. Nephritis 
parenchymatosa with much albumen in urine. Dirty, yellow 
sediment. 

Kali phos. — For the great functional disturbance of nerve- 
centres, in alternation with Calcarea phos. for the albumen. 
CEdema pulmonum, intermittent action of heart. 

Calcarea phos. — Albuminous urine calls for the use of this 
remedy in alternation with Kali phos. Bright's disease. 

Calcarea sulph. — Zwingenberg cured a case of nephritis 
scarlatinosa with this remedy. 

Kali sulph. — Diseases of the kidneys after scarlet fever, 
albuminous urine. 

Natrum phos. — Gravel in the kidneys. 

Natrum sulph. — Aids in the throwing off of gravel by in- 
creasing the secretion of urine. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I have had two cases of Bright's disease following scarlatina. Tube casts 
were present. Albumen, general anasarca. Heart weakness. Retinitis 
albuminurica. There seemed to be extensive destruction of tissue, and as 
the cases also presented a profuse desquamation, I gave them Calcarea 
sulph. 6x, which speedily brought about a cure. (C. E. Fisher, M. D.) 

G. S., an old man of 77, consulted me for what he called a " laziness of 
his kidneys." Urine was, in fact, very scanty and loaded with albumen. 
The case seemed, at first sight, to be a hopeless one; he was also forgetful 
and quite nervous. I gave him Calcarea phos. 6xtr., a dose every two hours 
in alternation with Kali phos. After six weeks' treatment, urine was nor- 
mal, his memory was somewhat restored, and since six months he has not 
complained. As to diet, I only recommended to him to eat asparagus just 
as much as he could at his meals, and continue the use of the aforementioned 
medicines. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.) 

LABOR, PREGNANCY, ETC. 

Ferrum phos. — " I am in the habit of giving this remedy 
after parturition with marked relief of after-pains, and pre- 
ventive of the fever of lactation." (W. M. Pratt, M. D., North 



236 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

American Journal Homoeopathy, May, 1883.) Mastitis, first 
stage. Metritis, first stage. Morning sickness, vomiting of 
undigested food. Rigid os, with flushed face, restless, anxious 
and impatient. Morning sickness with vomiting of food. 

Kali phos. — Feeble and ineffectual labor-pains, spurious 
labor-pains. Tedious labor from constitutional weakness ; 
this remedy gives vigor and helps materially. Labor-pains 
weak and irregular. Rigid os, with thick, doughy lips, pa- 
tient restless, tearful and nervous. " For three years I have 
employed Kali phos. * in doses the size of a bean, dry on the 
tongue, every ten or fifteen minutes, as a remedy to excite 
labor-pains. It has never failed me, and I seldom have to 
give the third dose. My practice is extensive ; have had 
over ninety cases in six years. Magnesia phos., in spasmodic 
pains and eclampsia, has done well for me. I give generally 
after the birth Ferrum phos., a dose daily, to avoid inflamma- 
tion." (Dr. Rozas, Pop. Zeit, April, 1887.) ' After pains 
usually the best remedy. If given steadily several weeks 
before labor, confinement is less painful. 

Kali mur. — Chief remedy in puerperal fever. Mastitis to 
control the swelling before matter has formed. Vomiting of 
white phlegm. 

Magnesia phos. — Spasmodic labor pains with cramp in the 
legs, excessive expulsive efforts. Puerperal convulsions. 
Rigid os, thin lips. Pains weak and short. 

Calcarea phos. — Burning pains, hardness and soreness in 
mammae, they feel enlarged. Spoiled milk of mother, salty 
and bluish, child will not take it. Decline after puerpera, or 
during pregnancy. Prolapsus in debilitated persons. Espe- 
cially suited to rheumatic patients. Menstruation during lac- 
tation. Soreness in sacro-iliac synchondroses. Weariness in 
all limbs during pregnancy. 

Calcarea sulph. — Mastitis, when matter is discharging after 
prolonged nursing. Silicea. 

Calcarea fluor. — After-pains if too weak, contractions fee- 
ble. Hard knots in the breast. Hemorrhages. This remedy 



IvEUCORRHCEA. 237 

strengthens the elastic tissue of the gravid uterus, making 
parturition easy. (S. J. Hogan, M. D.) 

Natrum mur. — Morning sickness, vomiting of frothy 
watery phlegm, milk watery and bluish. 

Natrum phos. — Morning sickness with vomiting of sour 
masses. This remedy if given early in mastitis will prevent 
suppuration. 

Natrum sulph. — Lessens the secretion of milk. 

Silicea. — Suppuration of mammae, chronic fistulous open- 
ings. Hard lumps in breast. Child refuses milk, or vomits as 
soon as taken. Nipples crack and ulcerate. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

" The better acquainted I become with this system the more pleased I am 
with it. In labor, when the pains are too weak and irregular, I have seen 
nothing act more promptly and effectually than Kali phos. For spasmodic, 
crampy pains, Magnesia phos. is a gem. After a delivery, I give Ferrum 
phos., where I used to give Aeon, and Act. rac., to be followed or accom- 
panied by whatever may be indicated. I also use as a wash 3X to the vulva 
and abdomen, and for syringing the vagina morning and night. The parts 
heal quickly under this treatment, and with the use of other remedies, as in- 
dicated, the patient makes a good recovery. — Eelectic Medical Journal, E. 
H. Holbrook, M. D. 

A Portuguese house servant, mother of three healthy children, had not 
been well from the beginning of her fourth pregnancy. About six weeks be- 
fore full time she was threatened with a miscarriage. Had passed water and 
blood; the pains were severe and well directed; the oswas dilating and I felt 
so positive that labor was unavoidable that I advised her to keep about her 
duties, and gave her Kali phosphoricum 6x to help her along. To my great 
surprise the pain ceased, and she went on to full time. I then delivered her 
of a scrawny, undersized child which lived three days. (T. C. Wiggins, 
M. D.) 

LEUCORRHCEA. 

See also Women, Diseases of.

mild. 

Kali phos. — L,eucorrhcea, scalding and acrid, yellowish, 
blistering, orange colored. 

Kali sulph. — Leucorrhoea, discharge of yellow, greenish, 
slimy or watery secretions. 



238 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Natrum mur. — Leucorrhcea, a watery, scalding, irritating

intercurrent with the chief remedy ; a discharge of albumin- 
ous mucus. Leucorrhcea worse after menses, looks like white 
of egg, with feeling of weakness in sexual organs, worse after 
stool and urination. Parts pulsate with voluptuous feelings. 
Patient takes cold readily. 

Silicea. — Leucorrhcea instead of the menses, preceded by 
colicky pains, also during micturition and following obstinate 
constipation. Deficiency of animal heat. Especially for 
over-sensitive, weakly women, whose constitutions are imper- 
fectly nourished owing to deficient or imperfect assimilation. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

M. M., a young lady, aet. 17. consulted me on account of an obstinate 
acrid leucorrhcea. I tried the whole series of remedies indicated for such 
cases. All were without effect, so that I could not but wonder at the patience 
and perseverance of the patient, whom I saw once a week. In this case 
Schiissler again helped me out of the dilemma. Kali mur. effected a quick 
and permanent cure. (Dr. S. from Schiissler.)

CLINICAL CASES. 

Last summer my second daughter returned from a visit to New Jersey with 
an immense wart on her hand. In a few days she was taken quite ill with 
fever, which I took to be of a bilious nature; gave Natrum siclph. She be- 
came deeply jaundiced and grew worse while taking this remedy. I then 
changed to Kali mur. and she began to improve immediately and was well 
in a few days. After she had taken a few doses of the Kali mur. the jaun- 
dice began to abate and the wart fell off. ( E. H. H.) 

MARASMUS.

MECHANICAL INJURIES. 

Ferrum phos. — This is the first remedy in bruises and in 
fractures to meet the accompanying injuries to the soft parts. 
The first remedy in cuts, falls or blows, fresh wounds and 



240 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

sprains. It prevents pain, congestion, swelling or feverish- 
ness. Can also be used externally. Strains of ligaments or 
tendons. Tenalgia crepitans. Dr. Sara J. Allen, of Charlotte, 
Mich., reports gratifying results in the use of Ferrum phos. 
6x in injuries. Prescribed according to the above indica- 
tions. 

Kali mur. — Swelling of contused parts, cuts with swelling,

CLINICAL CASES. 

Young man hurled from a truck in the fire department. He struck his 
head. Following this for five or six months he had fits. Was very irrita- 
ble, wanted to die. His fits drove him to distraction. Never knew when 
they were coming on. They were epileptiform in character. Had constant 
pain in the head; much photophobia. Natrum sulph. was given, and the 
first dose cured him. He has never had any pain about the head since, has 
had no more mental trouble and no more fits. (Prof. J. T. Kent, Medical 
Advance, Sept., 1886.) 

In September, last autumn, I was in the Highlands. The dairymaid of a 
farmer there spoke to me, saying she had hurt her thumb while sharpening 
a scythe. The case proved to be this: The whole thumb of the left hand 
was swollen, and of a bluish-red color, and very painful when touched, much 
inflamed, and there was a small wound at the extensor side at the joint 
above the nail. On pressure there was a whitish-yellow discharge, mixed 
with white shreds. Both phalanges were easily displaced, and a peculiar 
noise was heard, which I had observed before in similar cases. This fact 
made me decide on giving Calcarea fluor. The medical man in the village, 
whom the farmer had consulted, said amputation was the only thing that 
could be done for the case. She took Calcarea fluor.; and some time after, 



MECHANICAL INJURIES. 241 

the farmer had occasion to see me, when he informed me that the servant's 
thumb was quite well. | From Schiissler.) 

Ferrum phos. ix Soreness axd Tenderness. — If biochemistry had 
only developed this remedy it would have given mankind the greatest bless- 
ing in the Materia Medica. I use it more than any other remedy and get 
good results. 

I used it in a very satisfactory way in the following case : 

Mrs. D., aged 42, never had been a strong person, and wanted " tonics" 
all the time from her former physicians. She took cold very easily and had 
much soreness in her throat and chest. She had frequent headache, which 
was worse in the temples. The pain in her head was generally throbbing 
and beating. Head always sore to the touch. She had more or less pain in 
her eyes, which were always worse on motion. She said they were tender. 
Her face was flushed and burning, and her tongue was clean and red. She 
said she had dyspepsia for years, with a tenderness in her stomach and bowels. 
Her sexual organs were tender and sore. 

Her flesh was always sore and tender. The soreness and tenderness of all 
the parts called my attention to the remedy. I gave her instructions in a 
general way in regard to diet, baths and exercise, also full directions about 
the care of her bowels. Ferrum phos. 3X, two tablets every two hours, were 
given, and her recovery was remarkable. Within four months she had no 
soreness and tenderness, and could truthfully say she was enjoying better 
health than she ever expected to do. 

I always think of this remedy in cases that have either tenderness, irrita- 
tion, congestion, fever or inflammation of any part or parts. It can be relied 
upon in all injuries of the soft tissues, as I have proven to myself many times 
in my surgical work. (O. A. Palmer, M. D. ) 

"Silicea in Neglected Injury. "—Mr. G., aged 40 years, injured his 
limb below the knee about eighteen years ago, which caused the limb to be- 
come inflamed and suppurate in two or three places. He carried the limb in 
this condition, being better and worse, until I saw him four months ago, 
when I commenced to treat him. His symptoms were always worse at night, 
when he would have pain shooting up and down the leg, especially if the 
room would get cool. Warm applications would relieve the pain. 

The ulcers discharged free!}- thick yellow pus. He had one or two fistu- 
lous abscesses of long standing that were surrounded by a dark bluish border. 
His general health was very much impaired, and I found him very low just 
after he had had a severe chill of one hour. He was badly afflicted with 
chronic dyspepsia and acid eructations, with an occasional attack of heart- 
burn and chilliness. I soon found that Silicea was the only remedy that 
would govern the pain and give comfortable sleep at night, and also improve 
his general condition. His improvement has been very satisfactory, and it 
is certainly a great victory for the remedy, as everything in the medicine 
line had been used without any material benefit. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 

Miss J , aged 24, had injured her coccyx by falling astride a boulder 

while walking in the bed of a dried-up stream. May 22, 1S93, she com- 
plained of much distress in the occiput and had severe pain in the spine if 
she became fatigued, which occurred after slight exertion about the house, 
16 



242 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

or after a short walk. An hour of shopping would lay her aside for days. 
Had to move her head forward, but if it were kept forward she had a sense 
of faintness. She took nothing but Kali phosphoricum 6x till June 16th, 
when I gave her Pulsatilla, because her period was delayed. This being un- 
usual, I looked to see if the remedy might be responsible, and found that it 
produced a "retention or delay of the monthly flow." I directed that Kali 
phosphoricum should be continued after the period was over, taking two 
doses daily instead of four as formerly. 

There had been a steady and marked improvement during these three 
weeks. She then went to Chicago and did as prolonged and faithful work 
at the fair as any of her party who were supposed to be well. After this she 
was quiet in the country until October, and she returned in very good con- 
dition. On resuming her old life the same symptoms returned after a time, 
and again she came under my care. Kali phosphoricum always benefited 
her, but it was not until after galvanism had been applied directly to the 
seat of the injury, and she had had rest for another summer, that she found 
herself quite restored. 

I do not cite this case to prove that Kali phosphoricum will make sound 
an injured coccyx; only to show its power to relieve many disturbing symp- 
toms arising from so profound a disturbance to the nervous system. (T. C. 
Wiggins, M. D.) 

MEASLES. 

Ferrum phos. — Measles in all stages, especially in the in- 
itiatory and prodromic, also for the symptoms of inflamma- 
tory affections of the chest, eyes or nose, or ears. 

Kali mur. — For the hoarse cough, for all the glandular 
swellings and the furred tongue, with white or gray deposit, 
it is the second remedy. For the after-effects of measles. 
Diarrhoea, whitish or light-colored, loose stools, white tongue. 
Deafness from swelling in the throat, etc. 

Kali sulph. — Suppressed rash, rash suddenly recedes with 
harsh and dry skin. This remedy will assist the returning of 
the rash. 

Natrum mur. — Measles, if there be an excessive secretion 
of tears or of saliva, as an intercurrent remedy. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. Kock, of Munich, reports: In thirty-five cases of measles which came 
under my treatment, coryza and bronchial catarrh were very slight in the 
premonitory stage. Conjunctivitis and intolerance of light along with it 
were the more prominent symptoms. Within a few days after, the rash ap- 
peared, lasting five or six days, and then disappeared. But either during 



MENINGITIS. 243 

the blush of the rash or the fading of it, painful swelling of one or both 
glands below the ear set in. The children again become feverish, and were 
crying and moaning both day and night. The remedy which I now chose 
was Ferrum phos., and, according to the violence of the fever, I ordered a 
spoonful of the solution every hour or two. I gave it at the premonitory 
stage, and when I saw that it proved very satisfactory, I looked for no other 
remedy. For the glandular swelling, external redness and painfulness, I 
used the same medicine, and my cases ended very satisfactorily. ( From 
Schiissler. ) 

MENINGITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — First stage of meningitis, high fever, quick 
pulse, delirium, etc.

disposed thereto. Give a powder of the second trituration 
morning and evening. When already developed, alternate 
with Argent, nit. 6 (Grauvogl.) 

Natrum sulph. — Violent head-pains, especially at base of 
brain and back of neck. Crushing pain, as if base of brain 
were crushed in a vise, or something gnawing there. After 
injuries to the head. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mr. D., from Er., suffered from meningitis, and a prognosis of the attend- 
ing allopath was designated as at least doubtful, and nothing was prescribed. 
The case was especially severe, since in his family there was a history of 
hereditary brain disease, and his nearest male relatives had died of it. At 
the time I was called the patient had been nearly two days in a frightful 
delirium, that had increased almost to madness. Consciousness had disap- 
peared; temperature over 40 . I ordered Ferrum phos. and Kali phos e . 
After a week I found the patient free from fever, still somewhat weak, but 
subjectively fully recovered. To hasten the convalescence I gave Calc. 
phos., and eight days later the patient was able to be out and at his calling- 
(Dr. Quesse.) 

MENTAL STATES.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Idiocy. — In January, 1S91, a lady came to consult me about the mental 
condition of her youngest boy. Her boy C. S. was then 26 years old, 5 
feet 8 inches tall and although pretty strong physically, appetite good, etc., 
he was a perfect idiot, unable to answer any questions except by yes or no, 
and even these answers were stupid. His appearance and his manner of 
acting was that of a child only a few years old. I remarked that all his 
teeth were decayed, and that one side of his head, the left, was a great deal 
smaller than the right. He was very nervous in his demeanor, unable to 
remain quiet on the chair for five minutes, and when these spells of nervous- 
ness reached the paroxysm, he generally tore off all his clothing and flung 
it in every direction about the room, until he was completely naked. How- 
ever, he seemed to have some fear or respect for his old mother, the only 
one, indeed, able to handle him He was not addicted to masturbation, but 
absolutely nothing seemed to interest him. 

From time to time for several years, this boy had been treated by several 
physicians of the old school, but without any success. This patient was the 
seventh child of the family ; all the others were healthy, as also were 
the father and mother. I inquired if during the pregnancy of the 
mother with this child she had been subject to any accident or fright. 
She answered no; on the contrary, she had always had a quiet and happy 
life. 

I prescribed for this patient: Magnesia phos., Calcarea phos., both in the 
3x tr., in 5-grain doses to be taken in alternation every hour during the day, 
the boy usually sleeping very quietly at night; I recommended that the 
patient be brought to me every week; of course, I did not promise a cure, 



246 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

but warned the mother to be patient with the poor boj', for the treatment 
would be a long and tedious one. 

After a month of the above treatment, the mother reported that the bad 
nervous spells of tearing the clothing were stopped; the boy was more 
quiet, following her all over the house, and seeming to take interest in her 
household work. 

Two months after the beginning of the treatment, his intelligence seemed 
to develop in some respect; he helped the mother sweeping the rooms 
and washing the dishes without breaking them, getting interested in many 
different other things, particularly in looking at images or photos, and 
pointing correctly that such and such were pictures of his brothers and 
sisters, etc. After the fourth month of treatment, I advised the mother to 
let him go with his brothers, that were carpenters, and see whether he 
could make himself useful for them in their work. So he did; he com- 
menced by helping them in carrying boards and sometimes planing them 
when necessary; week after week he became more and more interested in 
their work. 

Finally, after eight months' treatment, always under Magnesia phos. and 
Calcarea phos., he was able to do eight hours of common carpenter work for 
his brothers, and to make $2 a day, without experiencing any dislike, fatigue 
or laziness. He is still working steady, of course, like a man of poor intel- 
lect, but he is no more a burden as before to the great satisfaction of his poor 
old mother. 

The improvement of that idiot has been permanent until now. (Dr. E. 
A. de Cailhol, Los Angeles, Cal.) 

Patient, ast. 89, suffering from deep hypochondriasis, melancholia, tedi- 
ousness of life, fear of death, mistrust, downhearted and morose. After the 
failure of the ordinary homoeopathic remedies, he was entirely restored by 
Kali phos. 6 . 

Another case of religious melancholia, of three weeks' standing, in a 
woman, was entirely cured by Kali phos. 6 in one week. (Dr Arnberg, Allg. 
Horn. Zeit., i88t.) Detailed description below. 

MissM., the daughter of the late Dr. M., has been suffering since her 
eighteenth year from occasional attacks of aberration of the mind. But as 
years passed on, these attacks of insanity became worse and more frequent, 
until it was deemed advisable by her brother to make arrangements with 
the doctor of the lunatic asylum in the district to have her removed there. 
As a last recourse, a friend called to see if new remedies could be of any 
service in such a hopeless case Having assured him that Kali phos. would 
do her good, they gave it very steadily, four doses daily for weeks. This 
was four years ago. The result was most satisfactory. After taking it 
she never had another attack, and is completely cured; able to superintend 
home duties, receive callers and make calls, which she had not been able 
to do for years, on account of feeling so nervous and shy during the inter- 
vals of the attacks. Several cases of a similar nature have been treated 
with equal success— two of these puerperal mania. (M. D. W. From 
Schiissler. ) 

The following is a case of a lady, apt. 44: "I saw," writes Dr. A., of Arns- 



MENSTRUATION. 247 

berg, on the 7th of February, " a lady suffering from mental derangement. 
Religious melancholy was at the root, although before this occurrence she 
had not inclined to religious excitement, She now declared she was lost 
forever — lamented, cried, wrung her hands and tore her clothes, or pieces 
of paper which were laid about to prevent her tearing her garments. She 
did not know those around her, and was unable to sleep. Her eyes had 
an unconscious stare, and frequently it required two persons to hold her 
down. Only by holding her nose and by force, a little food or medicine 
could be put down her throat. I prescribed Kali phos., as her condition, 
though one of excitement, was originally one of depression, to which Kali 
phos. is suited. Dr. Schiissler says in his book: "A functional disturbance 
of the molecules of this salt causes in the brain mental depression, show- 
ing itself in irritability, terror, weeping, nervousness, etc., as well as soft- 
ening of the brain." She took Kali phos. with excellent results. A former 
experience gained by this remedy led me to select it. 

" On that occasion it was in the case of an old man, aet. 80. He suffered 
from mental derangement, which showed itself in the form of intense hy- 
pochrondriasis and melancholia. He was tired of life, but had a fear of 
death. For weeks he had been treated to no purpose with many remedies 
apparently called for, as Nux vom., Aurum, Brotnide of potassium in allo- 
pathic doses. But he was rapidly cured by the continuous use of Kali 
phos. Even after eight hours from the commencement of the treatment, a 
certain feeling of calmness was experienced, and that night he had a 
quiet sleep. I had, therefore, no reason to regard the treatment I selected, as 
the improvement continued steadily, so that on the 25th of February I dis- 
continued my professional visits. 

" I have seen my previous patient frequently, busily engaged in her home 
with her usual cheerfulness, and she speaks quite calmly of her past ill- 
ness ' ' ( From Schiissler. )

CLINICAL CASES. 

Metrorrhagia of six weeks' standing, in the case of a fat and robust woman 
of brown complexion. This person, who was a washerwoman at Grenille, 
and whom I saw only three or four times at my office, attributed her sick- 
ness to her constantly standing in cold water. Silicea arrested the hemor- 
rhage almost immediately, and effected such an improvement in one week 
that I scarcely knew her again the second week. She did not take any other 
medicine. (A. Teste.) 

Miss S., set. 22, brunette, short, plump, round body, large, active brain, 
intellectual, was since puberty troubled every month with dysmenorrhcea, 
beginning several hours previous, and during the first day of flow, with 
severe pains in the uterus, back and lower limbs, and these so severe that 
they seemed unbearable and hysteria seemed threatening. In one of these 
attacks I was sent for. Found the patient in bed; the feet had been bathed 
in hot water and hot cloths applied for hours to the lower abdomen; pains 
no better. I immediately gave her a large dose of Magnes. phos. 6x. In 
less than half an hour the pains lessened; I repeated the dose; in a few 
moments the patient was easy, the flow began, and went on the usual time. 
Next month I advised patient to begin the day before period and take three 
doses, and on the day period was to come on take a dose every two hours. 
No pains this month. This process was repeated the third month; no more

trouble; patient is now well, and no return of pain for over three years. 
{Med. Advance, Dec, 1S89.) 

Dysmenorrhea. — At each menstrual period a membrane, varying in size 
from one to two inches in length, was discharged. Her symptoms were, 
after the flow began, severe, sharp, shooting pains low down in the abdo- 
men, > by lying curled up in bed with a hot water-bag on the abdomen. 
When the severe pains were > a dull aching for a day or two followed, and 
the next or the following day a membrane passed. With this exception was 
in very good health. After one of her periods I gave her Magnesia phos. 
cm. in water, a dose night and morning, for two days. The next menstrual 
period was nearly free from pain, and the succeeding ones were painless, but 
the usual membrane was passed. Before this she had always stayed in bed 
without any relief. Painless menstruation went on for six or eight months, 
when she got her feet wet just before her menses, and received Magnes. 
phos. cm. It relieved her, and she has had no trouble since. (S. A. Kim- 
ball.) 

"Married lady, having one child, had every month menorrhagia; twice 
the flow was so excessive as to cause fears of death. Upon examination 
found the uterus low down and swollen; the whole vagina filled with in- 
durated uterus; orifice of os tender, red, stretched open about half an inch; 
inside filled up; outside congested. I began treatment with Magnes. phos. 
6x, three to four doses a day. No hemorrhage next month. No pain, and 
in three months the organ was reduced to its normal size, and dismissed 
patient cured. " {Med. Advance, Dec, 1889.) 

MORPHINE HABIT. 

Natrum phos. — M. J. L,uys reports the case of a physician 
who had been accustomed to take about seven grains of mor- 
phine daily. Small doses of Natrum phosphoricum were given 
subcutaneously (with glycerin and water), and as they were 
gradually increased, the morphine was progressively dimin- 
ished. In two months the morphine was discontinued en- 
tirely, and then the doses were progressively diminished, and 
finally stopped altogether in two weeks more. There re- 
mained no desire for the morphine. 

Kali phos. — Young lady, aged 20, intelligent, handsome, 
moving in the upper circles of society, nevertheless a con- 
firmed morphine fiend. Two general practitioners of promi- 
nence and a specialist had attempted to cure her but failed 
utterly, due, as I afterwards learned, to the extreme prostra- 
tion of the nervous system, amounting to almost total collapse. 

I began the treatment with fear and trembling. I followed 



MOUTH, DISEASES OF. 25 1 

the mode adopted by our most noted and successful practi- 
tioners. But my patient was, apparently, destined to die. I 
had used one after another all the nerve tonics I could find in 
any school of medicine. I was defeated and felt thoroughly 
discouraged. 

On my way to the patient's home, after I had resolved to 
relinquish the treatment, I happened to think of Kali phos. 
I returned to my office, got a supply of it, and started her 
taking a dose every fifteen minutes. At the same time I 
stopped all other heart and nerve " tonics." The change was 
wonderful. I could push the anti-morphine treatment and 
could sustain the nerve force. The sharp, intense headache, 
sleeplessness, wild, staring eyes, brown, dry tongue, and that 
horrible sinking, " all gone " sensation rapidly yielded to the 
cell-salt, and she made a good recovery. She is now, four 
years later, a remarkably vigorous, healthy and happy woman, 
without the least desire for the opiate, and has, as she ex- 
pressed it, "a perfect terror of morphine." 

I ascribe all the credit of the cure to Kali phos. (I used the 
3X potency), for the other treatment could not have been 
completed had it not been for the cell-salt. (B. A. Sonders, 
M. D., Winterset, Ohio.) 

MOUTH, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Gums sore, red, hot and inflamed. Red- 
ness, dryness or heat of the mucous membrane of the mouth. 

Kali mur. — Aphthae, thrush, white ulcers in the mouths of 
little children or nursing mothers. Canker, ulcers of the 
mouth. Gumboil, soft swelling before matters form, excori- 
ation of the mouth. Great fetor from the mouth. The

water-canker, gangrenous canker. Hydroa sore crusts and 
pimples on lips. Gums spongy and receding. Saliva pro- 
fuse, thick and salty. Inflammation of the tongue when ex- 
cessive dryness occurs or exhaustion sets in. Edges of tongue

Natrum phos. — This remedy has few equals for ulceration 
of the buccal mucous membrane. " Canker sores " of the lips 
and cheeks yield to this remedy in the 3X or 6x attenuation 
where Borax, Antim., Baptisia, Kali chlor., etc., have failed 
to cure. {S. J. of H.) 

Calcarea sulph. — Inside of lips sore, raw sores on lips. 
Gums bleed on brushing teeth. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

At a meeting of medical men at Schaffhausen, Professor Dr. Rapp said: 
" In my opinion the greatest merits of Dr. Schiissler's method lie in the 
introduction of Kali phos. and Magnes. phos. In ordinary stomatitis, with 
swelling of the gums, deposit on the teeth and foul breath, Kali phos. has 
given very satisfactory proofs of its value."

Ferrum phos. — Initiatory stage with the febrile symptoms. 
Kali mur. — This remedy alone will cure, unless there is 
fever. 

Natrum mur. — With much saliva or swelling of the testi- 
cles occurring as a metastasis with mumps. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I have treated, during the past year, at least a dozen cases of mumps, and 
I have never had such satisfactory results with other remedies One case 
had violent fever, even to delirium, great deal of swelling, pain, etc. The 
fever was entirely reduced within five or six hours, and the swelling and all 
the other symptoms were entirely relieved, within three or four days, by 
the alternate use of Ferrum. phos. and Kali mur. Two cases in one family, 
with similar conditions, were in a like manner treated with the same re- 
sults. (S. Powell Burdick, M. D.) 

NEURALGIA. 

Kali mur. — Lancinating, nightly pains from small of back 
to feet, worse from warmth of bed. Must rise and sit in chair 
for relief. 

Ferrum phos. — Congestive or inflammatory, from chill or 
cold, with pain as if a nail were being driven in. Blinding 
pain, one-sided, in the head, temples, or over eye, or in the 
jaw-bone. If this does not suffice, give Calcarea sulph., and 
note the tongue symptoms. Neuralgia accompanied by flushed 
face, burning or diffused heat, feeling of weight and pressure. 
Faceache with febrile symptoms. Tic douloureux. Neuralgia 
along inner orbit and nose. Neuralgia of the mammary 
glands. 

Kali phos. — Neuralgic pain in any organ, depression, fail- 
ing of strength, feeling of inability to rise, or to remain up, 
yet the pain is felt less when standing or walking about. 



254 TH H TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Neuralgia with ill humor, sensitiveness to light and noise, 
improved or not even felt during pleasant excitement. This 
remedy is required to tone up the gray nervous substance. 
Neuralgic pains in the nervous substance threatening paraly- 
sis, with a feeling of lameness or numbness. Pains better 
with gentle motion, worse on rising ; pains felt most when 
quiet or alone. Neuralgic pains and humming in the ears, 
failure of strength, paroxysms of neuralgic pains with subse- 
quent exhaustion. Neuralgia of the sciatic nerve (see 
Sciatica). Faceache. Right-sided neuralgias relieved by cold 
applications. Stitches from upper teeth to ear. 

Magnesia phos. — Intercostal neuralgia of a drawing, con- 
strictive kind. Spasms from cold without fever. Neuralgia 
in the head, pains darting and very intense. Neuralgic pains 
in any part of the body, when the phenomena of sensation are 
too acute ; pain excruciating or spasmodic, pains in the ends 
of nerve-fibres. Pains aggravated by mastication or any 
motion. Pains coming on periodically, being very acute, 
darting, or shooting along the course of the nerves. Neural- 
gia from exposure to a strong north wind. Spasmodic pains 
and affections of almost any kind. Neuralgia every night, 
well during the day. Typical facial neuralgias. A contra- 
indication for the use of the remedy is amelioration by cold. 
Warm applications relieve, and especially dry warmth. This 
remedy is right-sided. 

Natrum mur. — Neuralgic nerve-pains recurring at certain 
times, with flow of saliva or involuntary tears. Darting, shoot- 
ing along the nerve-fibre with these accompaniments. Orbi- 
tal neuralgia with lachrymation. Irritation of the fifth pair 
of nerves, also the facial nerve. Faceache with constipation, 
worse in the morning, from reading, writing and talking, in 
schoolgirls. 

Natrum phos. — Facial neuralgia, shooting, stitching pains, 
soreness of right lower jaw. 

Natrum sulph. — Attacks of neuralgia from being in damp 
dwellings, cellars, etc. Tongue thick, yellow, brown coated. 



NEURALGIA. 255 

Dr. J. T. O'Connor, of New York, reports a cure with this 
remedy. 

Calcarea phos. — Neuralgic pains deep-seated in the bones. 
Shocks like electric sparks. Neuralgia commencing at night, 
recurring periodically. Pains worse at night and in bad 
weather. Tics. Neuralgia ani, worse after stool, long-lasting.

Calcarea sulph. — This remedy occupies a ground between 
the very acute pains of Magnesia phos. and the paralyzing 
ones of Kali phos. (more in aged persons, if there be a want of 
regenerative force for the nervous tissue). 

Silicea. — Pain mostly in teeth. Lumbo-abdominal neural- 
gia. Better from wrapping up warmly. Obstinate neuralgia 
caused by dissipation, hard work and close confinement. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
Neuralgia 

Dr. Parenteau in the Societe Francaise d'Homoeopathie at the last meet- 
ing read a paper as follows: 

In 1887, in discussing Ferrum phosphoricum in this society, Dr. Nimier as- 
sured us that this remedy finds an application in supra-orbital neuralgia of 
the right side with a morning aggravation. 

At that time I had a young patient of 15 years, an anaemic girl with im- 
perfect menstruation, who, for three months caused me dispair of curing, 
owing to the tenacity of her affection, which resisted all remedies pre- 
scribed. 

I therefore resolved to give her Ferrum phosphoricum in the 6x potency, 
and I had the surprise and satisfaction to note that scarcely two days after 
the administration of the first dose a certain amelioration was produced. 
Naturally I continued the remedy, and at the end of eight days the amelior- 
ation was such that the patient thought herself cured. However, I advised 
her to continue the treatment for a week longer and then report. She did 
not come until two months afterward, but the cure was absolute and with- 
out relapses. 

It is unnecessary to state that whenever I found a supra- orbital neuralgia 
of the right side, I hastened to give this remedy, but several experiments of 
this kind having been followed by absolute failure, I was about to believe 
that my first observation was a simple case of spontaneous cure, when re- 
cently I had successively two cases of cure which convinced me that the ex- 
planation given by Dr. Nimier was absolutely exact. 

In the second case observed, it was not a young girl but a young woman 
of 27 years, modiste, and who for months had had attacks of right-sided 



256 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

supra-orbital neuralgia with morning aggravations or coinciding with the 
menstrual periods which were very irregular and with uterine hemorrhages, 
etc. 

After having vainly tried Nux vomica, then Chamomilla, Belladonna, 
Colocynth, Ignatia, etc., I tried Fer rum phosphor icum. 

As in the first case three days had not passed before the patient returns 
greatly relieved. I continued the remedy in the 6x dilution for eight days, 
followed by the I2xand the i8x, and at the end of three weeks the cure was 
complete without relapse. 

The third case was similar to the two others and I believe that I am able 
to complete the indications furnished by Dr. Nimier. 

As he has said Ferrum phosphoricum is useful in supra-orbital neuralgias 
of the right side with morning aggravation, but it exerts its influence espe- 
cially on the female sex and notably in young persons. The patients suffer 
from irregularities in menstruation and often have special uterine troubles 
with tendency to hemorrhages. From this condition there almost always re- 
sults persistent cephalalgias and an anaemia, which may be more or less 
marked, according to the case. 

The following from the pen of Dr. C. C. Huff, of Huron, D. T., from vol. 
i, of the Minn. Medical Monthly, No. 9, illustrates the use of one of these 
remedies in neuralgia : 

' ' Schiissler describes Magnesia phos. as the earthly constituent of muscles 
and nerves. Dalton says the salts of magnesium have been found to be in 
larger quantity than those of lime in the muscles. Grant this fact, then, 
and we have Magnesia phos. acting as a nerve remedy, and any disturbance 
of the system causing a molecular change in the nutritive elements of this 
salt would produce the characteristic pains of this remedy. They are de- 
scribed as being of a shooting character, like lightning, drawing and tearing, 
inclined to move from place to place ; they, moreover, assume a periodicity 
of recurrence, not, however, having any regard for regularity. We likewise 
find these pains in headache, generally frontal, in faceache, neuralgia of the 
stomach and bowels, of the ovaries and often in the limbs. Stomach-pains 
frequently radiate from the umbilicus, and are relieved by pressure (re- 
sembling in this respect Coloc, Aloes, Caustic, Nux vom., Iris vers, and 
Sulphur) and warmth, especially dry heat, best applied by means of an in- 
verted hot plate, lined with flannel. In England the farmers use the 
remedy with prompt results for flatulent colic in horses. The following is 
my experience with the remedy, and all my results have been from I2x 
trituration : 

"Case 1. Miss S., set. 24, dark complexion, nervous temperament, clerk. 
She had been under treatment for facial neuralgia for two weeks previous, 
the principal remedy being morphia, without relief. On being called to the 
case, I found the patient much prostrated, the right side of the face and 
supraorbital region somewhat swollen, pains very severe, of a crampy, shoot- 
ing, darting nature. There was also much tenderness over the affected side. 
The pains were of an intermittent character, and seemed to affect different 
parts of the head and face on different days. Magnesia phos. cured this 
case in twelve hours. 



NEURALGIA. 257 

"Case 2. MissB., aet. 22, dark complexion, nervous temperament, slight 
build, has neuralgia, from exposure to a strong north wind, and was under 
the so-called ' regular ' treatment for three days before I was called, and 
had taken massive doses of Bromide of potash and Chloral hydrate, with no 
relief. I found her in bed, almost frantic with pain, flushed face, eyes in- 
jected, with a high degree of photophobia; pain was left-sided and involved 
the supramaxillary portion of the trigeminus. In character the pain was 
lancinating, crampy, darting and shooting, frequently extorting cries. 
Magnesia phos. was given and resulted in a speedy recovery. 

" Case 3. Miss S., aet. 20, brunette, tall and slender, nervo-bilious tem- 
perament, occupation topographer. She was taken suddenly with acute 
pain in right side of the face, the pain involving the supra- and infraorbital 
region, paroxysmal, of a darting, tearing character. Magnesia phos. cured 
promptly. 

" The above cases have been taken from my note-book and are illustrative 
of the action of this remedy in neuralgia of the fifth nerve and its branches 
I have also cured one case of neuralgia of the stomach where the character- 
istic pains were present. I have relieved colic in young children with the 
same remedy when Chamom., Nux vom. and Coloc. had failed." 

Case of prosopalgia of several weeks' standing, relieved by warm cotton 
and aggravated by cold. Magnesia phos. i2x cured in three weeks. — Allg. 
Horn. Zeit., vol. 88, p. 46. 

Dr. H. C. Allen reports a case of right facial neuralgia with sharp, quick, 
spasmodic, lightning-like pains, sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and 
pressure, accompanied by prostration and night-sweats, cured by Magnesia 
phos. 200 after several other remedies had failed to give permanent relief. 

Also, another case cured by the same remedy and potency where the pains 
were intermittent, darting, lightning-like, suddenly appearing and disap- 
pearing, relieved by heat and pressure; at the same time an annoying con- 
stipation disappeared. 

Prompt curative action of Magnesia phos. by Dr. Goullon: "On April 
13th a patient wrote me that for nine days she had been in bed without 
medical help, suffering from a maddening pain. Through catching cold 
she got a severe trouble in the ear and then a prosopalgia on the left side, 
affecting the lower maxillary bone, also the frontal, and involving the 
whole left side of the head, back to the nape of the neck. She went to an 
apothecary for Bryon., but he advised Bellad., which didn't help. Deep 
within the ear an abscess developed, which broke two days ago, discharg- 
ing pus and now water, which is quite irritating, for it has produced an 
eruption wherever it touched. The ear still pains; the prosopalgia remains 
as before. The pain is maddening, and there is high fever with sleepless- 
ness; she doesn't sleep at night and only one or two hours in the day. She 
perspires freely, which is unusual with her. Yesterday she had a severe 
pain in the right hip, resulting from a bath. I was unable to see the patient, 
as she, at that time, lived at Leipsic, and yet she needed help at once. What 
should I give her? Silicea ? The nightly aggravation would suit this 
remedy, but the abscess in the ear was gone, yet the facial pain remained. 
Spigel.f There were indications for it, as I already knew she had a ten-

dency to heart trouble. She had formerly had pains in the articulations of 
the hand, in the arm and side, most severe at the heart. She described it as 
if the heart would be twisted out, with a throbbing as if something were un- 
wound. Perhaps it was a rheumatism, located in the face, but even here 
Spigel. would be called for. Then there is Arnica, which has lately been 
extolled as a specific. Further, I had some reliance on Stannum, which 
had cured for me many neuralgias that even the great nerve remedy, 
Quinine, had left untouched. The embarrass de richesse still increased. 
Chamom. ought to be given for the unbearable pain. Again there was 
Mercur. on account of the tendency to sweating, and Arsenic, on account 
of sleeplessness. 

"Yet in preference to all these remedies I selected Schussler's Magnesia 
phos., moistened a powder of milk sugar with the 6th dilution and directed 
it to be dissolved in half a wine-glassful of water, a teaspoonful to be taken 
every three hours. On April 17th, I had the satisfaction of reading the 
following lines: ' My hearty thanks for your kind and quick assistance. I 
had immediate relief, and I am happy and thankful. The horrible pain is 
gone from my face; the scalp is still sensitive, and one place which is cer- 
tainty connected with the ear still pains. The ear itself pains somewhat and 
runs yet.' " — Pop. Zeit. f. Horn., XVII, 13 and 14. 

Right facial neuralgia, jerking, cutting pain, teeth sensitive; worse after 
going to bed. Merc, gave no relief. Magnesia phos. in water gave prompt 
relief, and has acted equally well twice since. This remedy given in another 
case of left-sided facial neuralgia did no good. It produced, however, pro- 
fuse sweat, with dread of uncovering. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From 
Hg.) 

Chas. M., set. 47, has for a week or two a severe tearing, gnawing pain in 
region of right scapula, extending into the right upper arm, and down the 
forearm into the thumb, with numbness, particularly of the thumb, but with- 
out loss of motion or use of arm. The pain comes in paroxysms, and is only 
relieved by hard rubbing and pounding of the flesh, troublesome as well 
daytimes as nights. Has taken several remedies, principally Rhus tox., and 
had electricity each day for a week or more, without benefit. After taking 
Calcarea phos. 6 for a few days, the pain and numbness were much relieved, 
and being continued, the trouble was cured in about three or four weeks. 
Any return of it would be at once relieved by this remedy. 

A similar case in a young lady, set. 20, was cured by the same remedy, 
though she had almost complete paralysis of the hand. (C. T. M.) 

Neuralgia. Pain supra- and infraorbital, extending to all the front teeth 
of right side, intermittent, stabbing, nipping, lightning-like and extremely 
sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and pressure; coming and going suddenly 
and attended by prostration and night-sweats. Magnesia phos. 200 promptly 
gave relief. — Med. Advance, Dec, 1889. 

A lady of healthy appearance suffered since several weeks with faceache, 
radiating over one-half of the face, lasting five or six hours. Warm wadding 
relieves. Worse when body gets cold. Magnesia phos. 12 , every three hours, 
removed the pain in three days. 

Lady, ast. 30, suffered since several weeks with pains in face and teeth, 



NEURALGIA. 259 

right side, changing locality. Appears every two or three hours and rushes 
about like lightning. Magnes. p/ios. u , a dose every three hours, relieved in 
two days. 

Lady, aet. 42, with a hectic appearance, catamenia scantv, often omitting. 
Since two years, boring over the right eye, after a few minutes spreading 
over the whole right side to the lower jaw, driving out of bed. Stool torpid, 
little appetite. Magnesia phos. overcame all complaints in four days. This 
remedy regulated the catamenia and all subsequent attacks. (A. Plate, 
M. D.) 

Kali phos}- cured a case of neuralgia in the right side of the face, proceed- 
ing from hollow teeth, relieved by cold applications. Magnesia phos. given 
at first did not relieve, probably because there was no relief from warmth. 
Unlike Phosphor, or Kali, but similar to Pulsat. ( \Y. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. ) 

Miss Margaret S. suffered from neuralgia, true nerve-fibre pain, darting 
through her head along the nerves. She had suffered intermittent!}" for 
three days. Two doses of Magnesia phos. cured her completely. 1 M. D. 
W. From Schiissler. ) 

A severe case of neuralgia in the head. The lady had come sixty miles to 
attend a musical entertainment, and was compelled to go to bed on account 
of the pain. After suffering for sereral hours, I was called, and relieved her 
completely in an hour with Magnesia phos. 6x, a dose every ten minutes 
(E H. H.) 

Ada D., a healthy robust child, aet. 8. Her only symptom was a severe 
pain at the lower part of the sacrum, coming on after stool and lasting the 
entire day, until she goes to bed, when it ceases. The pain is so severe as 
to prevent her walking or even standing. Calcarea phos. gave immediate 
relief. (R. T. Cooper, M. D.) 

Magnesia phos. relieved a case of ciliary neuralgia involving the left eye 
extending downwards into neck, with lightning-like pains, relieved by press- 
ure and heat. This case presented a symptom similar to Mezereum, namely, 
sensation as though a stream of cold air were blowing on the eye. G. P. 
Hale, M. D. ) 

Mr. S., a small, undersized man, with dark complexion, dark hair, and 
very dark eyes; a hard worker, and not very well nourished. Presented 
himself at the office, complaining of a very agonizing pain in his face, on the 
right side, seemingly involving the malar bone. While waiting for me he 
had a severe paroxysm, and the suffering of the man was intense. He 
described it as boring, like an auger, and after that came pains that he 
could not describe, except that they were like shocks. Mag. phos., 30s, 
was given, and he went to work the next day and has not been troubled 
since. 

Miss C. a tall, slender woman, inclined to angularity; brown hair, and 
somewhat sallow; unmarried, and about 35 years old. She has a severe at- 
tack of neuralgia in the inferior maxillary of the right side, this being very 
common with her. The face is swollen and very hard; sensitive to the 
touch, and very susceptible to the cold air. The pain is sharp, darting, 
piercing, and changing from one part to another; can get some relief from 
hot. dry applications. I gave her Mag. phos. , 30X, and called to see her 



260 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

next day. The pain was all gone, the swelling very much reduced, and a 
marked improvement was manifest. The treatment was continued, and the 
external conditions were all removed She complained of a tooth that 
gave her some trouble, saying that it was very loose, and when she pressed 
down on it there was a throbbing sensation, with a sore feeling. The pa- 
tient was given Silicea, cm., and this removed all the remaining trouble, 
and she has since remained free from all neuralgic attacks. 

Mrs. Mc, a slender, delicate-looking brunette; very dark hair; married; 
pregnant four months. While suffering from an attack of influenza she had, 
as a complication, an attack of right-sided neuralgia, located over the eye, 
and involving the upper eyelid, which would twitch and quiver when the 
pain was severe; then lightning-like shocks from the supra-orbital region 
down into the upper lid were very frequent. Mag. p/ios., 30X, relieved 
this case in a very short time. (Chas. C. Huff, M. D. ) 

Cases Illustrating the A.ction of Magnesia Phosphorica as an 
Anodyne in Neuralgias. 

Case r (January 21, 1895). — Miss G., aged 48, keeps a boarding-house, 
has had much worry lately. Been subject to attacks of neuralgic pains in 
spine, but had none for two years. After a slight attack of influenza, se- 
vere pains developed in lumbar region, down right sciatic nerve, and up 
spine. Tenderness on pressure, with a numb sensation in affected parts. 
The pains shift their position, are better by rest, worse at night. Sometimes 
they seize her in paroxysms, obliging her to call out. Patient is much dis- 
tressed and in great anxiety about the pains; her pulse is weak and vitality 
depressed. She was kept in bed for ten days, and treated with Rhus, 
Actcza racemosa, Bryonia, and Arsenicum, but without effect. Then 
Magnesia phosphorica 3X trit. was given, gr. v., night and morning, and 
at any time if the pains were severe. The pains at once abated, and patient 
observed that this powder had done her good, and that each dose relieved. 
She was about again in a few days. 

Case 2. — Mrs. X., aged 58, an apparently healthy, vigorous lady till two 
years ago, when she suffered whilst abroad from vague neuralgic pains about 
body, which gradually increased until when I saw her in June last they had 
become very severe, and had greatly reduced her strength. They were 
much worse at night, affected various nerve tracts, chiefly below the waist. 
They shifted about; there was tenderness over the affected parts, and finally 
she got no sleep at night, but walked about weeping and wringing her hands 
in despair. There was numbness of the toes, and the condition suggested 
commencing deep-seated spinal mischief. Arsenicum, Quinine, and Phos- 
phorus helped the general condition. But nothing touched the pains until 
Magnesia phosphorica was given. This gave her several good nights' 
rest, and continued for a time to lull the pains. The patient has now left 
Bournemouth, and I hear is getting worse. Magnesia phosphorica could 
not have been expected to cure such a condition, but its effect in temporarily 
relieving the pain and ensuring sleep was unmistakable, both to the patient 
and her friends. 



CEDEMA OF THE EUNGS. 26 1 

Case 3.— Miss F., aged 36, a sufferer from chronic nephritis, which has 
much improved under treatment. After some mental upset, severe left- 
sided facial neuralgia set in, radiating from an upper molar, which had 
given trouble before, from recurrent inflammation of the root. The pain 
was better by warmth and pressure on the affected side, worse by talking. 
Phosphorus at first removed the pain, but soon lost its effect. Magnesia 
phosphorica was then given, which greatly relieved. Although the pain 
recurred occasionally for some days, a few doses of this drug always re- 
moved it, and no other remedy was required. 

Case 4. — Mrs. W., an old lady of 74, in reduced circumstances. She has 
been under treatment for slight eczema with constipation and stomach pains. 
These are better. On September 10th, she complained of frantic neuralgia 
in upper jaw and face. The pain ran down from infra-orbital foramen into 
upper malleolus, and along right molar bone. It was worst at night, re- 
lieved by warmth, worse by least cold The pain was grasping and ticking; 
had lasted a week. Magnesia phosphorica relieved almost at once, and 
no other remedy was required. 

Case 5. — Mrs. B., aged 50. Progressive optic neuritis, from which she 
is now quite blind. She has been under treatment for two years, and for a 
time by various remedies the progress of the disease was arrested, and she 
could read large print until nine months ago. Since then nothing has 
availed. There has been frequent supra-orbital neuralgia of the right side. 
The sight of the left eye had been lost before I saw her. This neuralgia was 
benefited by Actcza racemosa, and when very severe by occasional antipyrin 
powders. In September last the pain returned with great severity. Magne- 
sia phosphorica 3X, 5 grains taken in hot water two or three times a day 
when the pain was worst, gave immediate relief. A fortnight afterwards 
she reported the pains had quite left, and this powder had removed far more 
promptly than anything previously prescribed. 

(EDEMA OF THE LUNGS. 

Kali phos. — (Edema pulmonum, spasmodic cough, threat- 
ening suffocation, for dyspnoea and livid countenance. Acute 
oedema, frothy, serous masses brought up in excess. 

Natrum mur. — (Edema. Excessive accumulation of wa- 
tery mucus in the lining of the lungs and bronchi, serous, 
frothy secretions. 

ORCHITIS.

Calcarea phos. — May be required later. 
Calcarea fluor. — Induration and hardening of testicles. 



262 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 



PARALYSIS. 

Calcarea phos. — Coldness, numbness, crawling and weak- 
ness in lower extremities. Nervous prostration. Bruised feel- 
ing in the back after exhausting diseases and from standing 
in wet. 

Kali phos. — Facial paralysis, loss of stimulating power over 
some muscles. The mouth is distorted, being drawn over to 
the unparalyzed side. Creeping paralysis in which the prog- 
ress of the disease is slow ; there is tendency to wasting, 
with loss of sense of touch, etc. Locomotor paralysis, loss of 
motor or stimulating power. Paralysis of the vocal cords, 
loss of voice through relaxed or paralyzed conditions of the 
laryngeal muscles. Atrophic paralysis, in which the vital 
powers are reduced and stools have a putrid odor. All va- 
rieties of paralysis require this, the chief remedy, such as par- 
tial, paraplegia, hemiplegia, facial or ptosis. Paralysis that 
comes on suddenly. Infantile paralysis. 

Magnesia phos. — Languid and exhausted, unable to sit up. 
Complaints from standing in cold water ( Calcarea). Paralysis 
agitans, involuntary shaking and trembling of the hands and 
limbs, or of the head, an affection of the muscles. Muscular 
paralysis caused by a disturbed or diseased condition of the 
different nerve-fibres which convey the motor stimulus to the 
muscles. Paralysis of white nerve-fibres. 

Natrum phos. — Weakness of lower limbs from the knees 
down. Legs give under her when she walks. (Farrington, 
Pennsylvania Homoeopathic Medical Society, 1875.) 

Silicea. — Paralysis from tabes dorsalis. Trembling in 
limbs. Debility. Wandering pains. Paralytic weakness of 
the joints. Progressive sclerosis of the posterior column. 

CLINICAL CASES 

A. G had a love affair, and, in order to kill herself, took poison, 

which left her with paralyzed hands and feet. I gave her six powders of 
Calcarea phos., and four weeks later she wrote me that she could go around 
the room by taking hold of the furniture. She received six more powders, 
which completed her recovery. (Monatsblatter.) 



PHTHISIS PULMONUM. 263 

hah phos. with a few doses of Calcarea phos. as intercurrent, cured a case 
of facial paralysis from working in the water. 



PHTHISIS PULMONUM. 

Calcarea phos. — Incipient phthisis in anaemic patients, pro- 
fuse sweat, especially about neck and head. To lessen the 
emaciation, give also cream, koumiss, small doses of cod-liver 
oil and carbonaceous food. Chronic coughs of consumptives. 
Night-sweats of phthisis with cold extremities. In diarrhoea 
and chronic forms with but little fever. Hoarseness, involun- 
tary sighing, suffocative attacks. Cough with soreness and 
dryness of throat, dull aching in chest. Alternating or asso- 
ciated with anal fistulae. 

Calcarea sulph. — Sputa purulent ; sanious, mixed with 
blood. In phthisical coughs with greenish yellow expectora- 
tion, rattling cough. 

Kali phos. — Shortness of breath on the least motion, putrid 
sputa. 

Kali mur. — Expectoration white and thick. 

Natrum sulph. — Hydrogenoid constitution. Phthisis mu- 
cosa. Cough with muco-purulent sputa. Lower lobe of left 
lung affected. All-gone feeling in chest.

in the evening after lying down, congestion to head with hec- 
tic flush, chronic coryza with total loss of taste and smell. 
Patient always worse near the seashore. Accumulation of 
transparent mucus in the larynx in the morning. Empty 
swallowing causes cough. 

Silicea. — Profuse discharge of fetid pus — nightly paroxysms 
of cough with tickling in suprasternal fossa — tuberculous de- 
posits on skin, showing themselves as lumpy tumors. Ema- 
ciation, profuse night-sweats. Terribly offensive foot-sweat. 
Great constipation ; the rectum lacks power to expel stools, 
and hence it recedes after partial evacuation. Patient is al- 



264 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

ways cold, especially feet. Much, prostration and loose, rat- 
tling cough, with copious expectoration of thick, yellow- 
greenish pus. This remedy embraces most of the symptoms 
that belong to the phthisical dyscrasia, consequently it is a 
remedy of value for the constitutional condition in congenital 
or hereditary cases. Dr. Holcombe has used the 6000th po- 
tency with wonderful curative power in the last stages of 
phthisis. 

Ferrum phos. — Breathing short, oppressed and hurried, ac- 
companied by heat and feverishness. Hoarseness from over- 
straining the voice. Cough worse in open air. Haemoptysis 
profuse, bright-red, frothy ; epistaxis. Phthisis fiorida. " If 
patients take cold, become prostrated and have a blood- 
streaked expectoration, this remedy, even in the 300th po- 
tency, will quickly quiet the pulmonary congestion." (F.) 

" Laryngeal phthisis, arytenoid cartilages pyriform, acute 
dry tickling cough from laryngeal and tracheal irritation, ac- 
companied by slight or even severe bronchial or laryngeal 
hemorrhages." (Ivins.) 

CLINICAL, CASES 

Mr. T., set. 30, of a sanguine, bilious temperament, rather dark complex- 
ion, five feet ten inches high, weight in health 166 lbs., family consumptive, 
two sisters and a brother having already died, leaving a brother still enjoy- 
ing tolerable health. Had several haemoptyses in the summer while in the 
hay field, and had constantly declined from that time. Saw him the April 
following; he having passed through the hands of several physicians, and at 
that time was so low that his physician said he could not live six weeks, and 
such was my opinion on seeing him. There was a large cavity in the right 
lung at the second intercostal space at about three inches to the right of the 
sternum; there were heavy rales in the left bronchi, with decided indica- 
tions of breaking down of the parenchymatous structure, and cavernous 
lesions there, also the sputa was very heavy and largely purulent; there was 
the odor of the cadaver already present, musty and offensive enough from 
septicaemic influences; he had no appetite and sat up hardly longer than to 
have his bed made; skin had a cold, clammy feel, and he was drenched with 
night siueats. Case was marked with absence of vital warmth; indeed, so 
forbidding was the case that I refused his brother when he asked me to visit 
him again in a week; he lived forty miles away. He was given a dose of 
Silicea 200 , every other night with Sac. lac, and ordered to report by mail in 
a week. He had been very much harassed with his night sweats and 
cough, which was worse from motion. The first mail brought me the intel- 



PLEURISY. 265 

ligence that the medicine acted like a charm and wanted more of the same 
kind; I sent so that he got a dose of Silicea twice a week, and so treated him 
till June, when he paid me a visit. Left lung appeared to be cleared up, 
night sweats no longer troubled him, appetite was good, he was steadily gain- 
ing in flesh and strength. Nevertheless, in the right lung there yet remained 
traces of the vomica, which now was much smaller and secreting only a small 
amount of muco-purulent matter; he was furnished additional medicine and 
went home, and by the middle of July was on his mowing machine Patient 
was alive for four years after and enjoying fine health, and I do not know 
but he is to-day; no man could be more surprised than myself at these re- 
sults. Were we all deceived ? Three good physicians of the leading school 
of medicine agreed about the diagnosis, and I don't think there is left a pos- 
sible ground for doubt. The case is exceptional, we agree; but is it not full 
of suggestions? (G. N. B., in Brigham's Phthisis.) 

The same excellent work, on page 193, contains the record of another case 
of phthisis, where Kali mur. was the remedy. 

Case of a lady who had been bedridden for nine months. Mrs. McH. was 
given up by four doctors as beyond medical treatment. The professor's 
diagnosis ran thus: Both lungs diseased, especially the right lung. The 
heart is greatly dilated, especially the right cavity. The lung disease pro- 
duced by neglected cold. When her case was brought under treatment by 
biochemic measures, four years ago, she was also suffering from dropsy. 
At the stage she came under the new treatment, it took sometimes an hour 
and more before she could find the right position to rest in. She would 
often rather spend the night on the sofa than venture to go through the 
fatigue of going to bed. Her cough and expectoration were very bad, breath 
extremely short and palpitation constant. She did not know what it was to 
have a good night, and rarely slept. By patiently adhering to Dr. Schiiss- 
ler's remedies she had recovered greatly, her lungs are wonderfully healed 
up, and her dilatation of heart almost removed. She now lives in com- 
paratively fair health, so that she was able to nurse her husband during a 
severe illness, where night watching was necessary. To reassure all con- 
cerned, a diagnosis was made. Dr H., a specialist, concurred in the state- 
ment that her right lung, of which a large portion is gone, is now fairly 
healed up, and dilatation of heart has almost entirely disappeared. (From 
Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Snader emphasizes the importance of Silicea in night sweats. Of 
sixty-two cases treated, in forty-three the perspiration was stopped, and 
in thirteen it was lessened. The potencies used were from the 3d to 30th, 
and Dr. Snader thinks that the higher potencies, as a rule, act best. 



PLEURISY. 

Ferrum phos. — For the fever, pain, stitch in the side, catch 
in the breath and short cough. Breathing short, oppressed 
and hurried. 



266 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Kali mur. — The second remedy, when there is plastic exu- 
dation. It will complete the cure. 

Natrum mur. — When serous exudation has taken place 
during and after its course. 

Calcarea sulph. — Empyema, pus forming in the cavity of 
the pleurae or in the lungs. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Boy, aet. 5, with right-sided pleuritic stitch, worse when coughing and on 
deep inspiration. Rheumatic pains in right shoulder joint. General heat 
of the body, very little thirst. Bryon. did no good. Ferrum phos? 2 , every 
two hours, relieved entirely on the second day. I noticed an unnatural ex- 
citement about the child the day after having taken Ferr. phos. He desired 
to get out of bed and wished to run around, but was too weak and fell over, 
very talkative and hilarious. 

A similar excitement I noticed in a lad aet. 7, to whom I had given Kali 
mur. during a gastric fever with great benefit. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, M. D. 
From Hg. ) 

Miss G. R., set. 20. Was called about midnight to see this young lady, 
who was said to be suffering from a pain in her side. I found her to be suf- 
fering from the symptoms common to an acute attack of pleurisy, high fever 
and severe pain in the left side of the chest. Gave her Bryon? in water. 
Called next morning, found the fever somewhat less, but pain not relieved; 
continued the Bryon?. Called at four p. m. ; about the same, pain still 
severe; gave Ferrum phos. iu solution; called at nine p. m. ; the fever had 
abated, and the pain was much less. Called the next morning; no fever 
and pain nearly gone. She continued to improve, and after a few days was 
up and about as usual. (C. T. M.) 

PNEUMONIA. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammation of the lungs ; it is the first 
and chief remedy. High fever, breathing short, oppressed and 
hurried. It should be given in the first stage until free per- 
spiration is established and health is restored. Pneumonia, 
congestive stage. Expectoration is clear blood. Secondary 
congestion following pneumonia. The well lung suddenly 
becomes congested. Crepitant rales. Sputa rust-colored. 
" This remedy and Veratrum viride give me better success in 
the treatment of pneumonia than any remedies I have ever 
tried." (G. W. Lawrence, M. D.) 

Kali mur. — Fibrinous exudation into the lung substance. 



PNEUMONIA. 267 

The tongue is generally white-coated. The mucus is white 
and viscid. 

Natrum mur. — Inflammation of the lungs, if there be much 
loose, rattling phlegm, clear, serous and frothy in character 
and coughed up with difficulty, worse in the morning. Cough 
with beating headache, involuntary urination and lachryma- 
tion. 

Kali sulph. — Inflammation of the lungs with wheezing, if 
yellow, loose, rattling phlegm be coughed up, or watery 
mucus. Rattling: cough, especially in children. Suffocative 
feeling, desire for cool air. 

Silicea. — Chronic, neglected pneumonia, passing over into 
suppuration; dyspnoea when lying on back. Deep-seated 
pain in lung. Sputa profuse, greasy, fetid. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of pneumonia of left upper lobe, with well-marked crepitation and 
profuse expectoration of frothy, pink mucus, yellow, watery diarrhoea, green 
vomiting. Laches., Lycop. and Phosphor, did nothing. Ferrum phos., 
every two hours, produced immediate improvement, although we considered 
her moribund (she had tuberculosis); the diarrhoea and vomiting were un- 
affected. (W. C. Goodno, M. D. From Hg.) 

Dr. A. L. Fisher quickly relieved a child of lobular pneumonia, with high 
temperature, with Ferrum phos. Kali sulph., given on account of thick, 
yellowish expectoration, speedily cured the case. — Horn. Journal 0/ Obstet- 
rics. 

Archibald Herbert, suffering from chronic bronchitis, had an attack of 
pneumonia. An iron moulder by trade, he was exposed to great heat; he 
had lain down on a form in a state of perspiration, took a severe chill, and 
inflammation in the right lung was the result. His case was a bad one, 
complicated by bronchial affection, fever high, cough distressing, a pain 
deep-seated in the right side, expectoration tenacious, rusty-colored. Fer- 
rum phos., in alternation with Kali mur., a dose every half hour, was taken 
for twenty-four hours, then every hour. For his prostration and sleepless- 
ness a few doses of Kali phos. were taken now and then. The improve- 
ment every way was very marked in two days. As the color of the sputa 
changed to yellow, he took Kali sulph. instead of Kali mur.; and as this 
condition was remedied, Natrum mur. and Calcarea phos. completed the 
cure in a little more than ten days. He returned to work, free from inflam- 
mation and bronchitis. ( From Schiissler. ) 

A case presented itself with the following conditions: Extensive extrava- 
sation, with solidification, great pain, hard and exhaustive cough, with 
characteristic expectoration, little or no sleep. After being treated for

about ten days with the ordinary remedies, Aeon., Bryon., Phosphor., etc., 
without improvement, and as the case was assuming graver proportions 
than I have had for years, I placed him upon Ferruni phos. and Kali mur. 
in alternation. In twenty-four hours a marked and amazing improvement 
resulted, which continued to the termination of the disease with rapid con- 
valescence. The case was a grave one, for the reason that he had been laid 
up three months with a fractured arm, and was in a very reduced condition 
when the pneumonia appeared. (S. Powell Burdick, M. D.) 



PUERPERAL FEVER. 

Kali mur. — This remedy alone may suffice for this disease, 
or, in alternation with Fermm phos., for the exudation. 

Kali phos. — Puerperal mania or fever, when illusions, 
absurd notions, or violent madness set in. Specific remedy. 

Natrum mur. — A useful intercurrent remedy in puerperal 
convulsions. 

CLINICAL. CASES. 

Case of puerperal fever. Chill, followed by fever. Suppression of the 
lochia, milk and urine. Hilarious delirium, profuse critical diaphoresis 
without thirst or much coated tongue, bowels confined and extensive tym- 
panites over abdominal parietes. Ferrum phos. 6 hourly a dose. In ten 
hours all urasmiform symptoms had subsided; patient cheerful and com- 
fortable. Lochia and milk secretion returned, and urine had been voided 
freely. A good recovery followed. (F. A. Rockwith, M. D., American 
Journal Homwopathic Materia Mediea, 1875.) 



REYNAUD'S DISEASE. 

Ferrum phos. — Dr. H. V. Halbert, of Chicago, relates a 
case in which, though, at first, amputation of the fingers and 
toes seemed inevitable, cure set in and progressed under the 
steady administration of Ferrum phos. 6x. 

RHEUMATISM. 

See also Arthritis. 

Ferrum phos. — If this remedy be taken steadily from the 
onset, it is often the only one required in rheumatic fever. 
Acute articular rheumatism, which is very painful, is an in- 



RHEUMATISM. 269 

flammatory febrile disease in its first stage. Acute rheuma- 
tism when any movement sets up the pain or tends to increase 
it. Articular rheumatism, especially of the shoulder; pains 
extend to upper part of chest, attacks one joint after another. 
The first remedy in all acute rheumatic troubles, muscular, 
acute or subacute. Worse on motion ; better by warmth. 
Soreness in every part of the body, especially the joints, worse 
on motion. Lumbago, stiff back, etc. Stiff neck from cold. 
" Pains especially severe at night, preventing sleep. Marked 
stiffness on first moving after rest." (Arndt.) Aggravation by 
motion or idea of motion. Hands swollen and painful. 

Kali mur. — Second stage of rheumatic fever, when exuda- 
tion takes place around the joints. This remedy removes 
swelling by restoring the non-functional cells of the excretory 
and absorbing structures to normal action. Rheumatic, gouty 
pains if movement makes them worse and if there be a white 
or gray-furred tongue. Swelling of the parts. Pains which 
are only felt during motion or increased by it, if Ferrum phos. 
does not remove them altogether. Chronic rheumatism with 
swelling, or when all movements cause pain. Gray or white- 
coated tongue, or white discharges. 

Kali phos. — Acute and chronic rheumatism with pains dis- 
appearing on moving about, severe in the morning after rest, 
and on first getting up from a sitting position. Very painful 
rheumatism, the parts feel stiff on first attempting to rise up ; 
improves slowly, but is increased by all exertion or fatigue. 
Stiffness, paralytic tendency. Laming pains, better on gentle 
exercise. 

Natrum phos. — In a recent note to Dr. Goullon, Schiissler 
calls attention to Natrum phos. as a remedy for inflammatory 
rheumatism, having successfully used it in several cases with 
rapid curative results. While Fermm phos. corresponds to 
simple, uncomplicated cases, there can be no doubt Natrum 
phos. corresponds more nearly to such cases as are character- 
ized by yellow-coated tongue, acid symptoms, or where there is 
a scrofulous basis. Rheumatic pains in the joints, with pro- 
fuse sour-smelling sweat. Acute gout, chronic gout, chronic

articular rheumatism. Natrum phos. acts upon the uric acid 
of the cells and renders it harmless. " Great stiffness and 
cracking of joints. Aggravated towards evening." (J. W. 
Ward, M. D.) 

Kali sulph. — Rheumatic fever when the articular pains are 
shifting, wandering or flitting. Rheumatic headaches. Pains 
in the joints, chronic or acute, that change about. Acute 
articular rheumatism of a shifting nature, settling in one part 
and then in another. Chronic rheumatism of the joints, pains 
worse in the evening and in warm air, better in cool air. Pains 
in the back, nape or limbs. " Kali sulph. I have repeatedly 
tested in wandering rheumatism, and have had very favorable 
resiilts." (Dr. Schlegelman.) Rheumatic or neuralgic cases, 
patients complain of soreness from three A. M. until they get 
up. 

Magnesia phos. — Acute rheumatism of the joints, for the 
violent pains, as an intercurrent remedy. Excruciating, spas- 
modic pains during rheumatic fever. " The pains are aggra- 
vated by the slightest touch and are improved by warmth and 
hard pressure." (Puhlmann.) 

Natrum mur. — After the second remedy {Kali mur.\ if the 
symptoms correspond. Symptoms of tongue, etc. Chronic 
rheumatism of the joints ; joints crack. 

Natrum sulph. — Rheumatic pains, pains and stiffness in 
nape and back, pain in joints, especially of toes and fingers 
and wrists, pain in hip joints aggravated when rising from a 
seat or moving in bed. (Perkins.) 

Calcarea phos. — Rheumatism, which is worse at night, ag- 
gravated by heat or cold, worse in bad weather (also Ferrum 
phos), worse from change of weather. Rheumatism of the 
joints with cold or numb feeling, creeping feeling in parts 
affected. Sensation of ants crawling on the affected parts. 
Numbness, lameness. Every cold brings on rheumatic pains in 
the joints. Pains in sutures. Stiffness of neck from exposure 
to dampness ; aching and soreness in limbs. Pains in sacro- 
iliac synchondroses, worse with every change of weather.

CLINICAL CASES. 



271 



Mrs. R., aged 22 years, had suffered for years with debility and indiges- 
tion. She was very much subject to colds and rheumatic pains which 
wandered and shifted around over the body. She was generally worse in 
the evening, in a warm room, but better in the open cool air. She suffered 
much with neuralgia of the face, which was intermittent and shifting, but 
better in cool air. 

Tongue generally coated a little yellow. She had had a great many skin 
boils which usually came after a rheumatic spell. Kali sulph. was so very 
satisfactory that she keeps it in the house all the time for use if any of the 
old symptoms return. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 

Kali mur.— This is a great remedy, and all its indications should be mas- 
tered. The following case well illustrates its ability: 

Mr. M., aged 78 years, had been sick for four or five years, and the most 
of his suffering was in his digestive organs. He had a poor appetite and a 
white coat on his tongue, most of the time. Eyes were large and protruding. 
Could not eat fatty or greasy food without increasing his trouble. He had 
flatulence and stomach-ache, with constipation and diarrhoea, alternating 
every three or four weeks. 

He has suffered with chronic rheumatism for years, and many of his 
joints were more or less swollen, all the time, and worse when moved. He 
was badly troubled with indigestion, and vomited every few days, which 
gave him relief for awhile. In his prime he was a strong man, and now he 
is nothing but a grumbling wreck. After giving him general directions in 
regard to his foods, baths, etc., I gave him Kali mur. 3X, three tablets every 
two hours, which not only relieved his general catarrhal condition, but re- 
lieved him every way, so that within six weeks he could walk around and 
feel comfortable. He gave me to understand that it was the first medicine 
that had done him any good. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 

Dr. Feichtman, of Also Lendra, in Hungary, reports fifteen cases of acute 
articular rheumatism quickly cured by Ferrum phos. — Allg. Horn. Zeit. 

Dr. Schlegelman reports the following cases: L., of Regensburg, a strong, 
healthy man, aet. 26, had taken cold during a state of perspiration and con- 
tracted acute rheumatism of the joints (rheumatic fever). At first the right 
shoulder was attacked, the patient had violent pains and high fever. Bryon., 
which seemed decidedly indicated here, had no other effect except that the 
pain on the next morning had changed its seat, and had appeared in the left 
knee. In this way he continued for several days, under the use of various 
medicines. Either the one or the other of several joints was affected. The 
most distressing pains continued day and night, and evidently the patient 
was greatly reduced. At last I decided to test Schiissler's medicine. I gave 
Kali sulph. The result was very favorable. The wandering pains ceased 
changing their location, and the pain confined itself to the right shoulder 
again, but was far less violent than before. Under the continued use of this 
medicine, the fever and pains gradually disappeared. Sleep and appetite 
returned, and no other joints were implicated. Eight days after giving the 



272 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

first dose of Kali sulph. the patient was dismissed as convalescent. No 
relapse occurred. ( From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Schlegelman writes, January, 1876: " I was attacked with rheumatism 
the latter part of November, traveling by rail, sitting close to the window 
of a draughty carriage. My whole right side was affected going, and, on 
returning, the pains were very severe; especially worse on every movement 
I made. Bryon. eased me temporarily. I only reached home at midnight, 
and had a very bad night. Bryon. was of little use now. I applied the 
electric current next morning repeatedly, but it was of no avail. I then 
took a pinch of the Ferrum p/ios., and, as if by magic, the pains disap- 
peared and did not return." (From Schiissler.) 

In the year 1875, Dr. Schlegelman reported from Regensburg: " D. A., 
aet. 20, a delicate lady, who suffered in her childhood a good deal from 
scrofula, was attacked last winter by a severe pain in the back, in conse- 
quence of catching cold. The third to the fifth ribs were very sensitive to 
pressure. Violent trembling of the right foot, and at the same time of the 
right arm, set in the moment she attempted to move the arm or extend 
the hand, and thus made all work impossible. The patient was all the 
more depressed about this, as in her vocation she had a good deal of writing 
to do. I gave many remedies, Pidsat., Rhtis tox., Bellad., Nux vom., 
Platina, etc., all without effect. I sent the young lady into the country; 
her condition remained the same. New remedies had no better results. 
At last I thought I had found her remedy in Zinc, met., as I had heard 
nothing from her for four weeks. How astonished I was to find my patient, 
whom I thought cured, entering my consulting room on the 30th of Sep- 
tember, trembling worse than ever. On my inquiry why she had not called 
sooner, she told me somewhat timidly she had gone to Mariabrunn to see 
a herbalist, and used the cure during the time. The result, as I could 
plainly see, had not been successful. Consequently she placed herself 
under my treatment again. I told her I was willing to treat her, and opened 
Schiissler's Therapy. I chose Magnesia phos., and had no reason to regret 
my choice, for after the first few doses (three times a day, ten grains) a 
decided improvement was noticed, of which I heard on the nth of October, 
when I saw her again. At this date not even a trace of the trembling could 
be observed. She had written repeatedly after this, and even then had ex- 
perienced no trembling whatever. The cure was complete, as up to date she 
had been doing all kinds of needlework and a great deal of writing, without 
any recurrence of the affection." (From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Brisken was called to a case on the eighth day after seizure. All the 
joints were swollen, and the patient had not been able to stay in bed a single 
night. In the morning he received Kali mur. with such good results that 
during the next night he was able to stay in bed, and in twelve days was 
completely cured. (From Schiissler.) 

A gentleman, aet. 70, had acute rheumatism in the shoulder and elbow- 
joints. He had been cupped, which made it worse. His joints were wrap- 
ped in waldwolle (turpentine wool), with no effect. He had not been in 
bed the last two nights, as on lying down the pains were worse. On the 
third day he came under Dr. Brisken 's treatment. After giving him Fer- 



RHEUMATISM. 



273 



rum phos., the fever ceased in a few days, after which Kali mur. was given. 
In a short time complete recovery resulted. (From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Brisken mentions three cases of rheumatic fever. One case was that 
of a bookbinder, middle-aged, whom Dr. Brisken had treated three years 
previously for this malady. On that occasion his recovery took from eight 
to ten weeks. The patient was again attacked in the joints of the hands 
and knees, when he received Ferrum phos. every hour; and as the fever 
had abated, Kali mur. was given the same way. On the fifth day he was 
able to return to his work. (From Schiissler. ) 

Edward B., set. 12, had been complaining a few days, when pains began 
in all the principal joints, but mostly in wrists and elbows, attended with 
redness and swelling, with some fever; there was most pain on moving, and 
he had to sit quiet to be in any comfort. Gave him Ferrum phos* dissolved 
in one glass and Kali mur* dissolved in another, to be taken alternately 
every two hours while fever lasted, then continue Kali mur. alone. These 
remedies soon relieved him, and he was out in a few days. A second attack 
the next year was cured by the same remedies in a short time. (C. T. M.) 

Robert D., set. 34. This patient lives on the bank of the lake and goes 
frequently into the water, and often gets wet while fishing and shooting. 
Has had pains about him for a year or two, at times. They are sometimes 
in one joint and then in another, seem to shift about, and are becoming 
very troublesome, hindering him from work, and he desires a remedy if 
possible. I gave him Kali sulph. 6 , several powders, one to be dissolved in 
water, a dose four times each day. This remedy, after a few weeks, com- 
pletely cured his trouble, and he has not complained now since a year or 
more. (C. T. M.) 

May, 1879. J. D., a man aet. 69, had been complaining for several weeks 
of pains in the limbs, which settled in the right leg, from the hip down to 
the ankle, but were worse at the joints, being of a shifting nature — intermit- 
tent — sometimes shooting and darting like lightning, causing the patient to 
change his position frequently. Warmth gives him relief. He is unable to 
leave his bed; is almost in despair, thinking he is dying. Magnes. phos., 
a dose every three hours. The improvement on taking this remedy was 
marked and rapid, but whenever he stopped with the medicine he felt worse 
again. By continuing steadily with Magnes. phos. a complete cure was 
effected. . (From Schiissler.) 

I was called to attend a girl, set. 12; she had had, some time ago, an 
attack of rheumatic fever. I found the little patient, who had been taken 
ill the previous day, in bed. The joints of both knees were swollen, some- 
what red, and very painful. The joints of the vertebrae at the nape of the 
neck were implicated, and every movement out of the constrained position 
of the neck and back was very painful. Her friends expected that salicylic 
acid would be applied, which they had already seen used, but I gave 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. alternately every three hours. Next day, to 
the astonishment of the friends, the fever and pains were less, and knees 
were quite free from pain. Now I ordered Kali mtir. to be given alone for 
the swelling, and the next morning on my return I found all the symptoms 
worse. I repeated the Ferrum phos again, and there was a rapid improve- 
18 



274 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

ment. But in the same degree as the pains were leaving and the swelling 
decreasing, spasmodic pains in the abdomen set in. There was also an 
occasional vomiting of bilious matter. As soon as these latter symptoms 
came on, I ordered the little patient some Magnes. phos. dissolved in water, 
in frequent sips, which removed all these symptoms in twenty-four hours. 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. were continued in less frequent doses. Six 
days after my first visit the patient was able to leave the bed, and was quite 
well. (Dr. Schlegel.) 

July 29th, 1879. From the reports of a Medical Congress at Dortmund, 
by Dr. Stens, Jr. : "I should like to report on a case of rheumatism which 
was cured by Ferrum phos. in a very short time, after having tried several 
of the most reputed remedies which seemed indicated. A lady, aet. 42 
(catamenia normal, though scanty), had been treated by me for the last few 
years. She suffered from digestive derangement, and sometimes from vio- 
lent attacks of megrim. This lady awoke one morning with a violent pain 
in the right upper arm and region of right shoulder, being of a tearing 
nature. She had walked the previous evening through a damp meadow, 
getting her feet wet. The pains were worse if she moved her arm quickly, 
but easier on moving it very gently. She was, therefore, keeping it con- 
stantly in motion. The parts affected were painful on being touched. Sev- 
eral nights perspiration had been excessive, and afterward made its appear- 
ance every morning between two and three o'clock, when the pains were 
always worse. The patient also complained of a pain in the right hand 
and powerlessness, which prevented her from lifting anything heavy. She 
often felt rather exhausted, and had to lie down. I gave her no less than 
five remedies which seemed to suggest themselves, but without success. 
The lady's anaemic condition, and partly Dr. Schiissler's recommendation, 
made me think of iron. I prescribed his own preparation of Ferrum phos., 
as much as would cover a sixpence, to be taken night and morning. The 
result was that, after taking the medicine for six days, the pains, with their 
accompanying symptoms, did not return, even though soon after this wet 
weather set in, when she had generally felt her pains to be much worse. 
(From Schiissler. ) 

Miss A. W., aet. io}£, was taken with a chill on January 1st, 1884. The 
next day I found her with very high fever, pulse 120; severe pains in back 
and limbs; nausea and vomiting; joints, small and large, greatly inflamed; 
hands, feet and limbs cedematous. Could not bear to be touched or moved. 
Great sensitiveness in every part of the body and limbs. Pains became 
very much worse at night, increasing to such an extent that her screams 
could be heard by the neighbors on each side of the house. Constant cry 
for cold water; vomiting of food and drink almost as soon as swallowed. 
Tongue coated yellow, with horrible bitter metallic taste. Great prostra- 
tion. Hereditary, gouty-rheumatic and dropsical diathesis. Has had for 
some time back a ravenous appetite, especially for sweet things, which was 
freely indulged. Treatment: After wasting much of the first week with 
various remedies with no improvement, I determined to adhere to the sys- 
tem of Schiissler. For the fever, vomiting of food and drink, and the in- 
flammation, I gave Ferrum phos. 6x. Pains aggravated at night, Calcarea

phos. 6x; for rheumatic gout, cedema, dropsy, yellow coated tongue with 
bitter taste, Natrum sulph. 3X, about ten grains in half a goblet of water, a 
teaspoonful every other hour in alternation with the first two, which were 
given dry and at the same time. From the commencement of this treat- 
ment, decided improvement began, and by the fourteenth day of her sick- 
ness she was able to sit up. Previous to her sickness she had become so 
stout that she could not stoop to button her shoes, and her cloak could 
scarcely be buttoned around her. Indeed, it was so uncomfortable buttoned 
that she would go with it open almost all the time. After her recovery she 
was able to stoop, and her cloak could be lapped several inches. — E. H. Hol- 
brook, M. D., in Eclectic Medical Journal. 

Dr. Sulzer, of Berlin, reports a case of fever and violent pain in the right 
shoulder joint, high temperature, full and rapid pulse, thirst and loss of 
appetite. Shoulder red, swollen and sensitive to pressure. The pressure of 
the pillow was unbearable. Fer rum phos. 6x cured. — Allg. Horn. Zeit. 



RICKETS. 

Calcarea phos. — In delicate children, caused by soft spongi- 
ness of the bone, from want of phosphate of lime molecules. 
Skull soft and thin, with crackling noise when pressed upon,

of broken bones, systematic dyscrasias. Pott's disease, 
shrunken children, hard lumps on the cranium, diarrhoea dur- 
ing dentition with much flatus, cold tremors, child cannot 
hold head upright. Its principal indications are the fonta- 
nelles which remain wide open, the diarrhoea and the emacia- 
tion of the child. 

Kali phos. — Atrophy of the bones, with putrid-smelling 
discharges from the bowels. Indigestion with nervous de- 
pression.

Natrum phos. — This remedy is highly recommended for 
poorly nourished children who are threatened with rachitis 
and continually pass clay-colored stools. Dose 10 grains, four 
times a day. Rachitis with excessive acidity. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. Kniippel, of Madgeburg, reports (Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1882, p. 4) cases 
in which children had formerly been born rachitic, but through the mater- 
nal ingestion of Calcarea phos} during last months of pregnancy all subse- 
quent children were born perfectly healthy. 

Child, set. 2 years, with right thigh swollen to three times its natural size 
from hip-joint to knee, stony hard, having existed for six weeks; yielded 
promptly to Calc.Jluor. In this case even touching the limb was followed 
by the greatest distress, even prolonged crying. (J. W. Ward, M. D.) 

SCARLATINA. 

Ferrum phos. — Simple cases of scarlet fever. (In alterna- 
tion with Kali mttr.) 

Kali mur. — Often suffices in mild cases with Ferrum phos. , 
brings rash out and prevents sequelae. Lymphatic enlarge- 
ments, etc. 

Kali sulph. — Desquamation, skin peels off, it assists desqua- 
mation and formation of the new skin, also for the develop- 
ment of the rash. Discharges of foul, offensive, ichorous pus

purate, boils, abscesses, subsequent induration of glands from 
tardy reconvalescence. 

Natrum sulph. — Rash rough and pimply, rising of mucus 
in the throat. 



SCIATICA. 



CLINICAL CASES. 



277 



A. S., the child of a post official visiting here, was taken ill with an attack 
of very slight scarlatina. The rash had disappeared after scarcely twenty- 
four hours. The throat symptoms, at first threatening to be severe, disap- 
peared in three or four days. On the seventh day almost complete retention 
of urine set in, as in twenty-four hours only a very small quantity was passed, 
although the child drank a good deal. The urine contained some albumen, 
the feet were swollen, the abdomen very much distended. As the child was 
all this time in high fever, and at night delirious, I advised the parents on 
my visit on the morning of the eighth day to consult a second physician. 
Dr. Gerster, who was called in to consult with me, agreed completely with 
my diagnosis. When I told him that I had not had any results from any 
of the medicines, such as Bellad., Canthar. and Arsenic, we agreed to give 
Kali mur. , every two hours a small powder. In the evening the little one 
was already better. She had passed a tolerable quantity of urine free from 
albumin, the pulse steadier, the skin moist. The following night the little 
girl slept quietly for several hours. In the morning almost free from fever, 
and could be considered convalescent. We continued the use of Kali mur., 
and a few days after she was able to return home perfectly well. (From 
Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Holbrook reports a case of scarlatina {Southern Journal of Homoeo- 
pathy*) treated with Kali mur. m alone, making a good recovery, and, given 
to the rest of the children in the home, prevented their having it, though 
with the sick one nearly constantly. 

" A few days ago," writes the pastor in W , " two of my children had 

the scarlatina, one of them being complicated with diphtheria. The allo- 
pathic physician pronounced the latter case hopeless. That which most 
frightened me was the complete insomnia day and night. The convulsions 
and typhoid symptoms did not yield to any remedy. I employed several 
remedies without result. At last, in looking over Schiissler's work, I found 
that Natrum mur. was the remedy indicated. I at once made use of it, 
but with little confidence. However, the result was striking; after the first 
dose the child had a peaceful sleep, and slept quietly all night. I continued 
the remedy, and my child, declared hopeless, was cured in a few days." 
(Jour. Pop. de Horn.) 

Several cases of scarlatina this winter did not do well under the usual 
remedies but were speedily relieved and cured by Natrum stdph. The rash 
instead of being smooth was rough and pimply, and in some cases rising of 
mucus in the throat. (E. H. H.) 



SCIATICA. 

Kali phos. — Affection of the sciatic nerve which extends 
down the back of the thigh to the knee, dragging pain, torpor, 
stiffness, great restlessness and pain, nervous exhaustion, lack

of motor stimulus, moving gently for a time gives relief, neu- 
rasthenic type. 

Natrum sulph. — Sciatica when symptoms of constitutional 
gout exist. Pain in hip joint, worse when rising from a seat 
or moving in bed. 

Magnesia phos. — Sciatica with excruciating, spasmodic 
pains, relieved by heat. 

Natrum mur. — Tensive pain in the right hip joint and 
knee, of a remittent character, painful contraction of hamstrings, 
limb emaciated and painful to touch, pains renewed or in- 
creased in a recumbent posture, even in daytime, more toward 
noon, relieved by heat. Chronic cases after quinine. 

Silicea. — Sciatica, chronic cases. Pain worse on motion. 
Pain in hips. On walking calves feel too short. 

Calcarea phos. — Crawling and tingling with the pain. At- 
tacks return in cold weather. Tearing, shooting in hip bone. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mr. B. has been suffering for seven months with sciatica in left leg; the 
pain was very severe and fast undermining his health; he had been treated 
by a very skillful physician all this time, and almost every known remedy 
was tried, until the physician himself gave up the case and said that he 
could do nothing more. I was called, found patient suffering with a dull, 
tensive pain, extending the whole length of the sciatic nerve of the left leg, 
worse on slightest motion; prepared a small powder of Kali phos. 6x, in 
half a glass of water, and gave a teaspoonful every ten minutes for an hour, 
when the pain was much better; patient then slept until morning. Next 
night the pain returned; gave same remedy, but with no result. The next 
night gave Kali phos}' 1 , and very soon the pain was relieved; continued 
Kali phos? 1 every two hours, a small powder dry for a week, and then four 
times a day for a month; once during that time he had a slight attack, which 
was soon stopped by putting one of the powders in a half glass of water, and 
giving a teaspoonful ever}' ten minutes for awhile. A year has passed and 
there has been no return of the trouble. (G. H. Martin, M. D. ) 

A lady, who had to be brought home from campmeeting, I found suffering 
with an intense pain down the sciatic nerve. There were some fever and ex- 
treme soreness to the touch or movement. She would cry out with pain 
from the slightest movement. Tongue was coated greenish-yellow. Gave 
Ferruin phos.' 200 and Natrum sulph. 20 " in water alternately. The next day 
she could move without much pain, and was able to shift herself from one 
side of the bed to the other. The third day she was able to sit up, and was 
soon convalescent. (E. H. H.) 



SCROFULA AND TUBERCULOSIS. 279 

Sciatica cured by Magnesia phos. A man who had been washing sheep 
had sciatica and could not lie down. All the sleep he got was in a chair, 
and hot applications to the right sciatic nerve alone relieved. Magnesia 
phos. 30X cured him without much trouble. (H. P. Holmes.) 



SCROFULA AND TUBERCULOSIS. 

[The following is taken from Schiissler's 24th Edition, pub- 
lished in 1897.] 

Magnesia phosphorica and Natrum phosphoricum. — The 

possibility of leucocytes undergoing cheesy metamorphosis is 
due to the fact that they contain albumen and fat. A con- 
glomeration or mass of leucocytes that has not yet undergone 
cheesy degeneration constitutes scrofula, while tuberculosis, is 
the state after such degeneration. Hence scrofula is the first 
tuberculosis the second. Much can be accomplished in almost 
any stage and in all scrofulous diseases by the use of the phos- 
phates, selected according to their characteristic indications. 

In regard to tuberculosis, Magnesia phosphorica deserves 
special attention, and the latest experience endorses it as a 
remedy for lupus. As long as no cheesy degeneration is 
present Natrtim phos. is able to release the imprisoned leuco- 
cytes. 

A mass of leucocytes undergoing cheesy degeneration fur- 
nishes a nutrient soil for bacilli, and hence must be cast off 
and eliminated as a foreign body by normal cell action. Every 
healthy cell possesses the property of recognizing and repel- 
ling inimical substances. Perfectly healthy cells are not 
found in the neighborhood of tubercles. Such must be formed 
through the action of the indicated phosphates, which bring 
about their new cell formation and also enter into their com- 
position. 

Koch's Tuberculin cannot effect such results, since it is a 
substance foreign to the cells and hence is repelled. 

The expulsion of a tubercle by means of the normal cell 
action is the expression of Nature's power of healing. The 
possibility of such a natural recovery can readily be conceived 
by any rational man. 



2 So THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

NOTE. 

[In a former Edition, the 20th, we find the following, which we append as a 
note to Scrofula and Tuberculosis.] 

Tuberculin , from which the tubercular lymph has lately been manufactured, 
will yet have to undergo many metamorphoses before it is discovered that 
they who use it, are on the wrong track. 
" Man dreht sich rechts, 
Man dreht sich links, 
Doch hangt der Zopf stets hinten." 

There are still to be found, here and there, physicians, who, infatuated 
with the bacteriological fad, seek to cure by means of tuberculin diseased 
tuberculous conditions. 

They point to their successes, but that these rest upon errors, even in the 
face of their numerous failures, they are unwilling to doubt. 

It is not excluded from possibility that bacilli might be found in the 
sputum of any one suffering from a simple bronchial catarrh, but otherwise 
perfectly healthy, which had just been inhaled and retained in the thick 
secretion. 

An enthusiastic follower of Koch affected with the bacillus mania will at 
once upon the discovery of the bacilli in the sputum conclude that tubercles 
are present in the lung tissue and, following this erroneous conclusion, will 
bring at once tuberculin to the field. 

After the cure has been accomplished, which is to say, when the catarrh 
under favorable influence of external conditions has cured itself, the patient, 
believing himself to have been affected with tuberculosis, willingly pays the 
expenses of the hunt for the bacilli. 

Bacilli which are found on healthy cells will be cast off and eliminated. 
Bacilli which, as above mentioned, meet on a catarrhal secretion in the air 
passages will be expectorated with the secretion. Bacilli meeting in a mass 
of leucocytes, which have undergone cheesy degeneration, adhere and thrive 
therein, because this mass, being inactive, cannot throw them off. It becomes 
their breeding place,* and the bacilli act as the cause of disease. However, if 
this nutrient soil, in consequence of rational means, is cut off and eliminated 
then the bacilli will go the same path, or be left to the same fate as the 
cheese mites — when consumed. 

If the bacilli did not require this mass of cheesy degenerated leucocytes for 
breeding ground, if they could breed in healthy places, then they would 
soon undermine the whole organism and tuberculosis, indeed, would not 
have time to become chronic and the patient would die before both lungs 
would have been undermined by the bacilli. 

It is different with the germs which cause acute infectious diseases, 
measles, scarlatina, typhus, small-pox, etc. These germs cannot find a 
pathological ground whereupon to breed, and they are proportionately 
quickly cast off and eliminated hy healthy cell action. 

*As no one can with certainty say whether such a pathological condition is present or 
not in his organism, it is wise to avoid conditions which may lead to such conditions. 



SEPTICEMIA. 28l 

A wise Daniel may yet prepare a remedy from measles or scarlet fever 
germs which will be just as worthless and perhaps as harmful as tuberculin, 
and the antihydrophobic virus of the French Pasteur, with which not only 
does he seek to cure hydrophobia, but even epilepsy.* 

Tuberculin may, in some cases, effect favorable changes in certain affections 
of short or long duration, but no cure, and in many cases aggravations are 
produced, shortening the patient's life. 

Recently in the Berlin Medical Society Dr. Henoch reported his experience 
in the children's ward of the " Charite " He first alluded to the incompe- 
tence of statistics and statistical tables, which prove nothing to the practical 
physician. Here the experience of individuals only can be decisive. Even 
also the term improvement signifies nothing, since the very meaning of "im- 
provement " is subjective and involuntary. However, it is different with 
the marked aggravations as he observed them. The 22 sick children of his 
division which were treated with Koch's lymph with the utmost care and 
precaution, not a single case of even a doubtful improvement could be traced, 
but several cases, on the other hand, were made worse in consequence of 
new complications brought on by its use. 

Improvements or apparent improvements can be easily explained. Tuber- 
culin can, like any other expectorant, produce an increase of expectoration, 
and perhaps a quantity of bacilli will be separated from their soil, and 
naturally a decrease of expectoration follows the so-called secondary action. 
If such secondary action lasts for some time then the general health of the 
patient will improve, and with good appetite and proper care he will gain in 
weight. 

The joy caused by such a favorable turn will last until the secondary 
action is exhausted and new colonies of bacilli settle in the infected soil. 

And this will soon occur, because the nutrient soil of the bacilli cannot be 
eradicated by tuberculin but still remains present. 

The endeavor to eradicate the infected soil by means of tuberculin recalls 
a proverb of the Poet Haller, who says of mankind: 

Unselig Mittelding von Engel und von Vieh, 

Du prahlst mit der Vernunft, und du gebrauchst sie nie. 



SEPTICEMIA. 
Kali phos. — Septic hemorrhages of putrid blood. 



*Pasteur, who was a celebrated chemist, but no physician, was ignorant of pathology 
and therapeutics, and reminds one of the tailor of Louis XIV., who one day handed to 
that monarch a memorial on the condition of domestic economy and internal politics. 

It is self evident that one must be well grounded in physiology, physiological and 
pathological chemistry, pathology and pathological anatomy in order to discover ra- 
tional methods of cure. Chemistry alone is not sufficient, it has other problems to 
solve.

Dr. H. Goullon reports in the Pop. Zeit. fur Horn., April, 1885, a case of 
cycosis cured by Calcarea sulph. 6 ; the case presented the yellow purulent 
conditions calling for this remedy. 

Dr. S. writes: Mrs. S., set. 24, of Regensburg, who had been suffering for 
several years from lichen, had used various well-known medicines, which 
had done her no good. I tried various remedies, and at last cured her. A 
few months ago she came again, and the lichen was worse than ever. My 
former remedy had no effect; and with several others, Arsen., etc., it was 
no better. I gave her Calcarea sulph., night and morning, in quantities 
as large as a bean, and in a fortnight the cure was complete. (From 
Schiissler. ) 

Case illustrative of the beneficial action of Calcarea sulph. in pemphigus 
foliaceus.— Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1882, p. 42. 



286 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Julia C, set. 3, eruption all over the face and on the hands, which are 
kept covered to prevent scratching; has been afflicted eight months and 
been under the best allopathic treatment without benefit. Gave her at first 
Kali mur. 6 , in solution. This remedy was continued for some time, but 
without much benefit, if any. Gave her then Calcarea phos. 6 , in solution. 
This remedy produced a change for the better in a week, and it being con- 
tinued cured the case in two months. The heat of the following summer 
seemed to produce a relapse, when the same remedy again cured it, and she 
remains well. (C. T. M.) 

Case of skin disease lasting for years, consisting of a recurring eruption 
of fine red pimples, and, when very severe, the pimples run together, the 
surface presenting a red swollen appearance, a strong alkaline fluid oozes 
out copiously; after this exudation the inflammation subsides, and the 
cuticle comes off in fine scales. Eruption itches and stings intensely, and 
although formerly relieved by cold water the irritation has become relieved 
lately by heat. He has also used Acetic acid, except on the face, which 
allayed the itching and redness. He has taken in the last year Fowler's 
solution of Arsenic, but without relief. The attacks are worse in the fall 
and spring, and the eruption is mostly on the face, arms and chest. Consti- 
pation is present. After using Kali sulph. a few days, commenced having 
boils and had a great many, after which the skin was better than it had been 
for years, bowels also better. 

In another case, a great deal worse, having lasted twenty-five years, the 
scaly eruption, mostly on arms, relieved by hot water, entirely disappeared, 
but returned a year after, when the same remedy in repeated doses of the 
30th, finally the 200th, brought relief. (C. Hg. ) 

Kali mur. 12 , given for gleet, the discharge having a milky appearance, 
produced no visible effects upon the flow, but increased very markedly the 
dandruff on the head, which fell in small white flakes over the coat-collar, 
accompanied by itching. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From Hg. ) 

Lady, blonde, aat. 20, fair skin ordinarily. Consulted the writer for ery- 
thema. For two days cheeks were swollen, fiery-red, and burnt like fire, no 
itching, eruption or roughness. One dose Ferrum pkos., M. M. (Swan). 
In thirty minutes the burning fiery redness was gone, and there was no 
return, the cure being perfect. (Boardman, London Homoeopathic Worlds 
1883.) 

Case which had suffered from effects of ivy poisoning (Rhus lox.) for 
eight months. Was formerly treated by external remedies, but has repeat- 
edly broken out again with small, hard herpetic vesicles, forming into a 
thin scab, with itching and some moisture. The eruption appears in the 
left axilla, about the neck and on the backs of both hands. She has a sen- 
sation of faintness at stomach and befogged feeling in head, fearing to lose 
her reason. Very vivid dreams. Sulphur, Rhus and Sepia had no bene- 
ficial effect. Two doses of Kali sulph}" 1 , taken in water morning and even- 
ing for four days, cured the case in four weeks. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, M. D. 
From Hg. ) 

Case presenting the following symptoms: Bald spot as large as a silver 
dollar on left side of the head. Hair falls out easily when combing, all over 



SLEEP, DISTURBANCE OF. 287 

the head, also of beard. Came on after gonorrhoea a year ago, and has 
probably taken much potash. Lycop., Natrum mur., were of no avail dur- 
ing four or five months. After taking Kali sulph}" 1 , every third day a 
powder for three weeks, the hair ceased falling, and the bald spot is covered 
with hair. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From Hg.) 

Th., set. 15, thick crop of papules on forehead, face and both hands, red 
looking, itclies and burns in daytime only. The spots on forehead are much 
worse when he takes off his hat. Not at all annoyed in the evening when 
warm, or at night. The entire eruption vanished in less than a fortnight 
under Siliced m . (R. A. Cooper.) 



SLEEP, DISTURBANCES OF. 

Magnesia phos. — Sleeplessness after exhaustion or lack of 
brain nutrition. (J. C. Morgan.) Insomnia from nervous- 
ness and emotions. 

Ferrum phos. — Insomnia from hyperaemic conditions. A 
beautiful hypnotic, but those who usually sleep well are kept 
awake by it. Restless at night, anxious dreams. Drowsi- 
ness in the afternoon. 

Kali mur. — Startled at the least noise. Somnolence, rest- 
less sleep. 

Kali phos. — Sleeplessness after worry, excitement, business 
troubles, and from nervous causes generally. Sleepless from 
overexertion. Often accompanied by irritability, great de- 
spondency and frequent urination. The trite remedy restores 
normal stimulating power in the gray nervous matter, and 
consequent contraction of the arteries, which diminish the 
flow of blood to the brain, and natural healthful sleep results. 
Sometimes a course of this remedy is needed. Somnambulism 
of children requires a steady course of this remedy. Yawn- 
ing, stretching and weariness. Constant dreaming of fire, 
robbers, of falling, of ghosts, etc. Night terrors of children, 
awaking from sound sleep, screaming with fright. Lascivi- 
ous dreams. Twitching of muscles on falling asleep. 

Natrum phos. — Drowsy feeling, yet not sleepy. 

Kali sulph. — Very vivid dreams. 

Natrum mur. — Excessive sleep traced to an excess of moist- 
ure in the brain substance. Sleepiness, the natural amount 



288 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

of sleep is unrefreshing. Constant and excessive desire to 
sleep. Drowsiness, saliva dribbles from the mouth. Sleep- 
lessness with great nervous irritability, associated with cold- 
ness of legs. Sleep restless and setting in late — frequent 
starting during sleep. 

Natrum sulph. — Drowsiness often the precursor of jaundice, 
when there exist a grayish or brownish-green coated tongue 
and other bilious symptoms. Awakened by asthma. 

Calcarea fluor. — Vivid dreams, not unpleasant, but with 
sense of impending danger, death, of new scenes, places, etc. 

Calcarea phos. — Drowsiness in old people, with gloomy 
thoughts, hard to wake in morning, constant stretching and 
yawning, children cry out at night. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Kali phos. in SLEEPLESSNESS. — Mr. S., aged 51 years, had been sick 
five weeks with what the doctors called typhoid fever. He had been run- 
ning down for nearly two years. He had lost nearly all of his strength and 
flesh and could not sleep, even though he had taken all of the old remedies 
When I was called he was badly alarmed and very nervous. During his 
sickness he had had a great deal of headache and depression of spirits. His 
tongue was coated a dark brown, and his breath was very offensive. He 
complained of a" gone sensation " in his stomach. The stools were putrid 
and foul, with considerable flatulence. 

His fever did not run high, and varied about two degrees from morning to 
night. I gave Kali phos. for the sleeplessness and nervousness, and Ferrum 
phos. for the fever. The result was he slept well from the first and wanted 
to know what he took. I experimented some by not giving it every day, 
and I found that he could not rest without it. It proved to be the remedy 
for him. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 

" Mrs. C. says when she has a severe pain in back of neck and head, and 
so nervous she could not allow any one to talk to her, could not lie still or 
sleep, one powder of Kali phos. would relieve her in a few minutes, and 
she would sleep as if she had taken morphia, and would feel sleepy for the 
entire day and night following the dose." Dr. J. C. Nothingham, who pre- 
scribed the Kali phos., believes the symptoms were due to sexual excesses. 
— Medical Advance. 

A gentleman, who has suffered from great sleeplessness, depression and 
occasional tendencies to suicidal mania, writes: I do not know how to thank 
you for the medicine you gave me; it has done me so much good. I have 
taken the Kali phos. and occasional doses of Kali mur. very faithfully, and 
will continue to do so, as it keeps me right. (From Schiissler. ) 

Mrs. W., aet. 60, much sleeplessness with great nervous irritability and 



SMALLPOX. 2 8q 

coldness of extremities for three months. She cannot keep them warm in 
any manner, coldness is subjective, but not objective. Natrum. mur. 6th 
trit. promptly cured the insomnia, "soothed her nerves," and cured the 
other symptoms. (J. C. Burnett, M. D.) 

I have treated many cases of that affection with Magnes.phos. 3X tr. 
where I suspected the cause to be of a nervous origin. Generally a good 
dose of that medicine in two or three tablespoonfuls of water, teaspoonful 
doses every four or five minutes, overcame the difficulty after half a dozen 
teaspoonfuls have been taken. (E. A. da Cailhol, M. D. )

give this and Ferrum phos. alternately. Throat ulcerated 
with whitish or grayish patches or spots, and the character- 
istic white tongue. Syphilitic sore throat ; pain on swallow- 
ing. Hawks up offensive, cheesy small lumps. Professor

tough ; also in posterior nares. Patient hawks and snuffs to 
get it out. In follicular pharyngitis, with tough, tenacious

in the larynx. Exciting cough. Hawking of mucus early 
in morning. Burning in throat better by warmth. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

An actor, Mr. E., consulted me for a severe irritation in the throat that 
interfered much with speech, and on account of an exceedingly bad breath. 



SPASMS, CONVULSIONS, ETC. 291 

This was especially disturbing, as he was obliged to appear in a role, three 
days later, in which proximity with his fellow actors was necessary. From 
an examination I concluded that it resulted from a deficiency of Kali phos., 
and so I ordered this remedy. On the evening of the second day Mr. E. in- 
formed me that he was fully recovered; of the foul breath there was not a 
trace to be perceived. He also stated that he was able to notice an improve- 
ment even after the second dose. (Dr. Quesse. )

pathic Literature . 

A. R. V. G., a young lady, aet. 18, had visited, along with her mother, in 
the past summer (1875), a hydropathic establishment. Without being ill, 
she had used the baths, even during her catamenia. Immediately after this 
she took violent spasms or cramps, which set in daily and continued after 



292 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

having returned home. A medical man was consulted, as the disease 
increased in spite of the different medicines she took. A second doctor 
was consulted, who quite agreed in the diagnosis as well as the treatment 
adopted by his colleague. Injections of morphium, very strong and 
repeated several times daily, were the main remedies applied; but the 
distressing ailment could not be removed; on the contrary, the cramps 
increased in violence and frequency. The medical men in attendance 
finally declared that there was no chance of improvement until the patient 
would take some steel-baths in the spring. The parents were afraid that 
their daughter would not live to see the spring, and if she did, that she 
would not be fit to be removed. They, therefore, telegraphed requesting a 
visit from me. On the 6th of September last I saw the patient for the first 
time. I had known her formerly and was astonished to see, instead of 
the blooming healthy girl she had been, a pale, emaciated figure whom 
I should not have recognized. During my presence she had an attack, 
her features were distorted, the eyes turned upward, froth came to the 
mouth, and then a fearful paroxysm of beating and striking with the 
hands and feet, such as I had never seen before. This was only the 
commencement. Suddenly the trunk of her body was contorted in an 
indescribable manner, the back of the head pressed deeply into the pillows, 
the feet forced against the foot of the bed, her chest and abdomen became 
arched like a bridge, drawn up almost half a yard. In this unnatural posi- 
tion she was suspended several seconds. Suddenly the whole body jerked 
upward with a bound, and the poor sufferer was tossed about for some 
seconds with her spine contracted. During the whole attack, which lasted 
several minutes, she was quite unconscious; pinching and slapping had no 
effect, dashing cold water in the face or applying burnt feathers to the 
nostrils was ineffectual, the pupils were quite insensible to the light. 
Ignat., which I ordered, had no effect; Cupr. met. acted better, but only 
temporarily; Be/lad., Ipecac and Pulsat, (the latter for suppressed cata- 
menia) were of no use. The attacks did not increase, neither did they 
decrease in the least degree. The morphium injections, too, were contin- 
ued at the desire of her friends. When at my visit on the 4th of October, 
the spasms came on again with such violence that the bedstead gave way. 
I consulted Schiissler's Therapy and ordered Magnes. phos. After taking 
this remedy on the 10th of October, the catamenia appeared, but her condi- 
tion otherwise was in no way changed. The spasms continued with the 
same violence. Then, remembering Schiissler's injunction to use Calcarea 
phos. where Magnes. phos., though indicated by the symptoms, proves 
ineffectual, I gave here Calcarea phos., on the 16th of October, a full dose 
every two hours. Immediately the spasms became less frequent. On the 
sixth day there was an attack, weak and of short duration. From this 
date she had peace till the 6th of November, the day of the return of the 
catamenia, which was preceded by short slight attack. On the 14th of 
December I had a call from the young lady, looking well and blooming, 
who wished to consult me for a slight bronchial affection. She told me she 
was entirely cured of her attacks, and at the beginning of December she 
had been quite regular, without experiencing any inconvenience. (From 
Schussler. ) 



SPINS, DISEASES OF. 293 

A very interesting case came under my treatment, which deserves the at- 
tention of the profession. I was called to a lady advanced in years. She 
had been suffering for nearly five weeks from fearful attacks of convulsive 
spasms. During the last twenty-four hours she had thirty attacks. The 
spasms darted through her body like an electric shock, so that she fell to 
the ground. The attack lasted a few minutes, after which she felt well 
enough, but rather exhausted. The sufferer did not venture to leave her 
bed now, afraid of being injured. She had been treated by her first doctor 
with Flor. zinci., Fowler's solution, and friction, but without success. 
When I saw the lady, I thought of trying Schussler's functional remedies. 
Knowing that Magnes. phos., Kali phos. and Calcarea phos. are prescribed 
for allaying spasms, I chose the latter, Calcarea phos., under the circum- 
stances. Next da}-, to the astonishment of those about her, I found the old 
lady walking about the room. She met me with a smile, exclaiming, " Ah! 
Doctor, my spasms are cured." And so it was. She had not another 
attack. (Dr. Fechtmann. From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. F., of Als6, Hungary, reports: I was requested to go into the country 
to see a man who had b en suffering the last three days from spasmodic, 
convulsive sobbing. He was lying in bed. Subcutaneous injections of 
morphia, friction with chloroform and sinapisms (mustard poultices) were 
all of no use. Although the sobbing was mitigated for two or three hours, 
it returned with more violence than ever. I gave him a powder of Magnes. 
phos. in half a tumblerful of water. After the second tablespoonful the 
sobbing ceased altogether, to the astonishment of all those present. (From 
Schiissler. ) 

Frequent reports of writers' cramp cured with Magnesia phosphorica have 
been published since the former edition of this work was issued.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Thos. T. McNish, M. D., Allegheny, Pa. in American Homceopathist, 
October 15, '97. Two years ago I was consulted by a farmer, sixty years 
old, spare, of nervous temperament, about a dyspepsia of three years' stand- 
ing. It was an aggravated and aggravating case, but I am not going to de- 
tail it further than to say that I gave Sepia, 30th trituration, and this single 
remedy effected a perfect cure. 

The patient then informed me he had another complaint of far older date, 
which he had not mentioned before because he believed it incurable, but the 
successful treatment of his dyspepsia gave him hope that the other disorder 
might be cured. The history of the case was briefly this: Nineteen years 
before, while digging a well, he strained his back; the effects, however, soon 
passed off and he believed himself well, when he was suddenly seized with 
what he called "a cramp" in the lower dorsal and upper lumbar region, 
which twisted him around until he " faced to the rear." The spasm, which 
was very painful, was repeated several times. After an interval of some 
weeks he had another attack, and from that time forward the}' increased in 
frequency until he had one or more daily. His general health did not seem 
to suffer. 

He received treatment from many physicians (all of the old school) with 
very slight benefit, and at last placed himself in the hands of a specialist 
who gave him electrical massage once or twice a week. This was continued 
regularly for four years, during which time the attacks decreased in fre- 
quency (but not in intensity), so that they did not recur oftener than once a 
week, and occasionally the interval was two weeks. (I neglected to say, in 
the proper place, that the patient was always twisted toward the right side. 
There was very slight tenderness over the first lumbar vertebra.) 

You will readily understand that I was not enamored of this case, and in- 
deed hesitated to undertake it, but the insistence of the patient decided me, 
and after two weeks' stud)' and reflection I prescribed Mag. p/ws., 6x tritura- 
tion, four doses daily. This was continued for one month. 

The effect of the medicine was remarkable. From the time of taking the 



SPINAL IRRITATION. 295 

first dose the spasms ceased, and though more than eighteen months have 
since passed they have never returned. 

SPINAL IRRITATION. 

Natrum mur. — Easily fatigued, weakness from slightest 
exertion, restlessness of limbs, pain in back and sensitiveness 
of spine. Sleepless, restless and weak. Headache on walk- 
ing. Salty taste and repugnance to food. Vision becomes 
dim after reading, at times only half of object visible. Natricm 
mur., in its first effects, stimulates the nervous system, caus- 
ing muscular contractions very much like those induced by 
galvanism. It also increases the red corpuscles, glandular 
secretions, digestion, etc. It is from this stimulating action 
that salt is so effective when applied locally with friction to 
weak muscles, etc. Later, however, Natrum mur. exhausts 
the nerves, diminishes glandular activity, and develops 
asthenia and anaemia with emaciation. The skin is dry, 
barsh and sallow ; mucous membranes are dry, cracked and 
glazed, with smarting and rawness, or with scanty, corroding 
discharges. Great complaints are made that the mouth is 
dry, when in reality the annoyance arises from the stickiness 
of the secretions ; they are not normally fluid. Now, from 
this atonic effect of salt, we observe spinal neurasthenia. 
The small of the back feels paralyzed, especially in the morn- 
ing, on arising. Back feels as if broken. Legs weak, trem- 
bling ; worse in the morning. Feet heavy as lead. With all 
this, it may readily occur that the bladder becomes weak ; 
troublesome dribbling of urine after a normal stool. And we 
may admit this vesical symptom as a concomitant of spinal 
weakness, even though the prover had no such association, 
because such a combination is quite in keeping with the 
genius of the remedy. We ma)' regard both spinal and cystic 
atony as a part of a general tendency in salt to produce ex. 
haustion, hence not a symptom of paralysis, but rather of 
neurasthenia. 

Silicea. — Spinal irritation alternating with offensive foot- 
sweat. Spinal irritation of children depending on worms 



296 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

{Natr. phos.), markedly aggravated at the time of the new 
moon. Spinal irritation with stiffness of nape of the neck 
and headache. Weak back and paralyzed feeling in lower 
extremities. Burning in back, constant aching in centre of 
back. Coccyx painful. Patient is very sensitive to the least 
noise, has rough and yellow finger-nails, icy-cold feet even in 
bed. Unhealthy skin, every little injury suppurates. Feels 
better from warmth in general. 

Kali phos. — Neurasthenia, especially from sexual excess,, 
characterized by severe spinal irritation. 

Calcarea fluor. — Backache simulating spinal irritation, with 
weak, dragging, down-bearing pain. Bowels confined. 

SPERMATORRHEA. 

Natrum phos. — Emissions every night, sexual desire almost 
gone. Semen thin, watery, smells like stale urine. In the 
provers it produced seminal emissions every night ; at first 
there seemed to be erethism with lascivious dreams, but later 
emissions took place, one or two in a night, without any sen- 
sation whatever. These were followed by weakness of the 
back and trembling of the knees, which felt as if they would 
give way. (Farrington.) 

Kali phos. — Nervousness growing out of excessive sexual 
excitement, whether indulged or suppressed. Impotency and 
nocturnal or other discharges with these nervous indications. 
(Nottingham.) Intense sexual desire. Painful emissions at 
night. Prostration and weak vision after coitus. 

Natrum mur. — Discharge of prostatic juice. Pollutions, 
followed by chilliness, lassitude and increased sexual desire. 
Impotence.

ent sexual thoughts ; often nocturnal emissions. 

Calcarea fluor. — Constant dribbling of seminal and pros- 
tatic fluid, with dwindling of the testicles. 

SPINAL MENINGITIS. 
Natrum sulph. — Violent pains in back of neck and head. 



SUNSTROKE. 297 

Drawing back of the neck and spasms of the back, together 
with mental irritability and delirium. " In the spinal menin- 
gitis of to-day, if all the remedies in the Materia Medica were 
taken away from me and I were to have but one with which 
to treat that disease, I would take Natrum sulph., because it 
will modify the attack and save life in the majority of cases. 
It cuts short the disease surprisingly when it is the truly in- 
dicated remedy. The violent determination of blood to the 
head that we find in the disease, clinically, is readily relieved.'* 
(J. T. Kent.) 

SUNSTROKE. 

Natrum mur. — The pathological conditions of this affec- 
tion arise from sudden abstraction of moisture in the tissues 
at the base of the brain ; Natrum mur. is the chief remedy in 
these conditions. Engorged venous sinuses with tendency to 
extravasation ; temporary cerebral congestion. 

SYPHILIS. 

Ferrum phos. — Bubo with heat, throbbing or tenderness. 

Kali mur. — Soft chancre, the principal remedy throughout 
(3X tr.) and also externally as a lotion ; chronic stage of syphi- 
lis. In bubo for the soft swelling. Mucous patches. Syphi- 
litic ulceration of gums.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Chancroid ulcers surrounded by congested areola, grayish exudation cov- 
ering surface. Deep excavations, wider at bottom, painful micturition.

ating disappeared, and the ulcers rapidly healed. (F. A. Rockwith.) 

TESTICLES, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — First stage of orchitis, inflammatory condi- 
tions, pain, etc. 

Kali mur. — Primary remedy if from suppressed gonorrhoea.

whitish edge. Insipid, pappy taste. 

Calcarea phos. — Swollen, stiff, numb, white-furred, pim- 
ply. Cancer. 

Natrum mur. — Coating slimy, clear and watery, especially 
when small bubbles of frothy saliva cover the sides and tips. 
Ivoss of taste, mapped tongue. Clean, moist tongue. Tongue 
numb and stiff. Children slow in learning to talk. Sensation 
of a hair on tongue. Dryness of tongue and mouth, more a 
sensation.

flammation. 

Magnesia phos. — Yellow, shiny coating, especially with 
pain in bowels and pressure in stomach. 

Note. — The coating of the tongue does not always wholly 
influence the choice of a remedy in all affections of the 
tissues. If any one, suffering from a chronic catarrh of the 
stomach, take also another (acute) disease, the coating of the 
tongue will not always have that peculiar appearance which 
will indicate the remedy suited to the acute disease. If any 
disease, particularly of a chronic nature, shows itself without 
decisive symptoms, then the coating of the tongue will, in 
most cases, guide in the choice of an appropriate remedy. 
(Schiissler.) 



300 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

TONSILLITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — Tonsils red and inflamed, painful on swal- 
lowing. This remedy at first alone. 

Kali mur. — The second remedy, as soon as there is any 
swelling of the throat. Throat spotted white or gray. 
Chronic or acute tonsillitis with much swelling. 

Kali phos. — Tonsils large and sore, with white, solid de- 
posit on them, like diphtheritic membrane. 

Natrum phos. — Catarrh of the tonsils with a golden-yellow 
tinged exudation, from an acid condition of the stomach. 
Chronic swelling of the tonsils. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic swelling of the tonsils, causing 
pain on opening mouth, deafness and difficulty of swallowing; 
intercurrent. Husky voice. " In spongy hypertrophy of the 
tonsils in children, in the 2x trituration we have found a 
faithful and protracted use of the drug in many cases to pro- 
duce a marked diminution in the size of the tonsils." (H. C. 
French, M. D.) 

Calcarea sulph. — Tonsillitis, last stage, when matter dis- 
charges or abscess forms. 

Natrum mur. — Uvulitis ; here the mucous cells are the seat 
of the disease. Hence not Kali mur., but Natrum mur., is the 
remedy. Chronic enlargement of the tonsils has been cured 
by the remedy in the 30th potency. 

Magnesia phos. — Tonsillitis worse right side. Throat very- 
red and puffy. Patient is chilly and tired, head aches and is 
flushed. 

CLINICAL, CASES. 

I have used Natrum mur. repeatedly, and especially in obstinate cases of 
salivation, with excellent results. One case in particular was cured with 
remarkable rapidity by this remedy. A young lady, aet. 20, who suffered 
from severe inflammation of the tonsils, so that she could scarcely swallow 
milk or water, had received from me a preparation of mercury. The inflam- 
mation of the tonsils was reduced very quickly, but another evil set in — 
namely, violent salivation. The gums were loosened, bleeding easily and 
standing back from the teeth, and the teeth were slackened. I thought of 
curing this affection also with Mercur.. with which I had often before sue- 



TONSILLITIS. 301 

ceeded in such cases, but by continuing this remedy the evil was only in- 
creased. Now I ascertained from the patient that in the previous summer 
she had been ill at N., and the doctor had given her a good deal of calomel, 
which caused fearful and long-continued salivation. She was afraid the evil 
would again become very tedious, as it had been so bad at N. I now stopped 
the Mercury and ordered Natrum mur., a dose the size of a bean every two 
hours The success surpassed my most sanguine expectations. In twenty- 
four hours the swelling of the glands had distinctly diminished, and in three 
days a complete cure was effected. (From Schiissler. ) 

Enlarged tonsils with partial deafness, by R. T. Cooper, M. D. J. D., set. 
5, a thin, delicate-looking boy, very tall for his age, for two years suffered 
from partial deafness, which has much increased since he came to South- 
ampton, two months since. His mother is frightened, fearing he is becom- 
ing incurably deaf. At first he would, or rather could, not allow me, from 
the excessive pain it occasioned, to examine his throat (he was then suffer- 
ing from an exacerbation); but it was evident, from the external swelling 
and the history, where the true cause of the dysecoia lay. The tale his 
mother tells is that he was vaccinated when three years old, that after much 
constitutional disturbance, eruption subsided, leaving the tonsils in their 
present swollen condition. Symptoms are worse after coming in from open 
air and in damp weather. Calcarea phos. had an immediate beneficial effect, 
so that in three days throat could be examined. Both tonsils were swollen 
and red and formed an almost complete embankment between the mouth 
and throat. In three weeks hearing was quite restored and swelling sub- 
sided. — Monthly Homoeopathic Review, September, 1867. 

Dr. W. had a severe attack of tonsillitis, involving both tonsils, which 
were very much enlarged, causing difficult and painful deglutition. Tem- 
perature, 102; pulse, 130; patient exceedingly nervous. Gave Ferrum phos. 
6x, and Kali phos. 6x, in alternation, every fifteen minutes. Saw the patient 
in six hours and all symptoms were much worse, then gave Kali mur. 6x 
instead of Kali phos., continued Ferrum. The next morning found that 
the patient had passed a hard night. Then gave Ferrum phos. i2x and 
Kali mur. I2X. In six hours found the patient very much improved, less 
pain, less swelling, temperature 100, pulse 100; continued the remedies, and 
in two days the patient was out, and suppuration did not take place. This 
was as truly a case of quinsy, which usually goes on to suppuration and runs 
a seven days' course, in spite of all we can do, as any case I ever saw. The 
aggravation caused by the remedies given in the 6th potency and the im- 
provement which took place after their administration in the I2x were in- 
teresting facts. The patient remarked that he could feel the effects of the 
last remedies all through the body, quieting and soothing the nervous irri- 
tability, immediately after every dose. (G. H. Martin, M. D. ) 

One evening a gentleman brought to my office his son, aged 8 or 10 years. 
As he stood before me, I noticed that he labored terribly in breathing, and 
that his chest was bowed out like a chicken's. I looked into his throat, and 
found both tonsils inflamed and so much enlarged that there was scarcely 
space enough between them to insert a slip of writing paper. He was 
slightly feverish, and the tongue was coated white. I prepared some powders 



3<D2 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

of Kali mur. m (B. & T.) and ordered them to be given dry every half hour 
for three hours, and then every hour through the night. The next morning, 
quite early, I called and to my astonishment found him sitting up in bed 
quite bright and breathing naturally. His chest had assumed a more normal 
form, and the tonsils were considerably diminished in size. The same 
remedy was continued through the next day, and the next morning the 
little fellow met me in the parlor, comparatively well. (E. H. H. )

CLINICAL CASES. 

Calcarea FLUORiCA. — A maiden lady of 60 came to consult me on the 13th 
of October, 1883, telling me she had a shiny swelling on her left index finger 
which had been there for about 18 months. The lump was hard and painful, 
and of about the size of a small split walnut, but rather flatter, patient ner- 
vous and depressed. Improvement set in at once and in two and one-half 
months was entirely well. (J. Compton Burnett.) 

Calcarea phosphorica. — An infant, a fortnight old, was brought to me. 
Immediately after birth a swelling was noticed on its head, which had con- 
tinued to grow larger. It was situated on the left tuberosity of the parietal 
bone, was about 7 em. in diameter, and its height was about 3 em. It felt 
doughy, not fluctuating. Careful examination showed that the parietal 
bone was defective below it. From this the tumor issued. It was evidently 
a meningocele of moderate size. Prognosis w y as doubtful. There were no 
signs of pressure on the brain, and the child, with the exception of double 
inguinal hernia, was healthy. I prescribed Calc. phos. 6th trit. three times 
a day. After taking this medicine three days the tumor was evidently 
smaller and in 10 days it was quite gone. The hole in the bone gradually 
filled up, and at the end of three and a half weeks was completely closed.

Sanguineous cyst on the right side of the occipital bone, with open pos- 
terior fontanelle. Calcarea phos. 2c. cured. — Raue, Record Homoeopathic 
Literature, 1873. 

Case of polypus of left nostril cured by Calcarea phos. — Beebe, Trans. 
American Institute, 1886. 

Dr. Orth relates: Elizabeth F., a widow, aet. 70, consulted me on April 
5th, on account of an epithelioma seated on the right cheek, reaching from 
the lower eyelid to the nostril. It was almost circular, and about the size 
of a florin. The epithelioma had existed for some years, and was at the 
stage of forming an ulcer, with hard base, and callous edges. I ordered 



TUMORS. 305 

Kali sulph., a powder every evening, and lint saturated with a lotion 
made of Kali sulph. for external application, to be changed frequently. On 
May 6th I noticed that the ulcer had visibly diminished, and on May 23d 
the ulcer had cicatrized to the size of a six-penny piece. A few days later 
the lady left to return home, and I regret I have not heard from her since. 
(From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Spiethoff, of Lubeck, relates a prompt effect from Calcar . fluor .* and 
Silicea. The patient was afflicted with a large sarcoma on the superior 
maxilla, giving the froglike appearance to the face. For eight months, 
old-school physicians had tried to establish suppuration, but failed, except 
to produce several fistulous openings, discharging a fetid, almost clear 
fluid. Without much hope of producing suppuration, Silicea 6 was given. 
No change occurred for two weeks, except the appearance of two protuber- 
ances in the median line of the tumor. Calc. fluor. 6 was now given, and 
the next day a profuse suppuration began, greatly ameliorating the case. 
The prompt action of the remedies was very striking. 

Dr. C. H. Thompson, of Santa Rosa, furnishes us a case of neuralgic node 
in the mammary gland, resembling scirrhus, eutirely cured by Calcarea 
fluor. 

William W., a factory worker, came to me on September the 4th. He 
suffered from epithelioma, which was situated on the right side of the nose, 
almost immediately below the corner of the eye, and about the size of a 
two-shilling piece. The eye itself seemed to be sympathetically affected, 
perhaps through the irritation of the discharge, which might have found its 
way into the eye from the edge of the eyelid, which, however, was not 
greatly destroyed. Be that as it may, there were conjunctivitis palpe- 
brarum and bulbi, with dulness of the cornea. The ulcer at the side of the 
nose had existed for four years. At first there was a slightly red spot, 
which was a little raised and swollen. Later on it became covered with a 
horny scab, which after a time fell off and left a little sore. This spread 
slowly but steadily. The patient had, during the whole time of its exist- 
ence, consulted a great number of doctors. He had also been treated for 
two months by a specialist for the eye, after it had become implicated; but 
all without effect. Kali sulph. was now given him, a dose night and morn- 
ing; and externally a lotion of Kali sulph. was used. After only a few days 
the inflammation disappeared. The ulcer began also to heal under the 
steady treatment. By the 8th of October the sore had cicatrized so that 
only a speck was left, when the patient was able to resume work again on 
the 9th of October. (From Schiissler. ) 

A hard swelling under the chin, about the size of a pigeon's egg, disap- 
peared completely in about four weeks under the use of Calcarea fluor. 
Both old and new school medicines had failed to cure. (Dr. F. From 
Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Fuchs, of Regensburg, reports: In August, 1875, I cured a lady, aet. 
40, who had suffered for a considerable time from an effusion in bursa of the 
knee-cap. Twelve doses of Calcarea phos., two doses per diem, accord- 
ing to Dr. Schiissler, removed this chronic condition of housemaid's knee. 
(From Schiissler.)

306 the twelve tissue remedies. 

Nasal Polypi. — Mrs. R. had nasal polypi in both nostrils, large, gray 
and bleeding easily. Calcarea p/ios so , a powder every morning for a week. 
The third week reported entirely free. The larger ones came away entirely; 
the smaller ones were absorbed. ( J. G. Gilchrist. ) 

Multiple; Cheloid, which appeared after the excision of a tumor, in the 
scar. It was excised at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but rapidly returned 
and increased in size, till the patient, a girl, was put on Silicea 3 , night and 
morning. The gradual disappearance of the growth under this treatment 
was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen in medicine. — John H. 
Clarke, in Homoeopathic World, August, 1885. 

Strumous Dactylitis. — At the London Homoeopathic Hospital, Gerard 
Smith exhibited a child, aged four years, who had injured his index finger 
two years previously. This set up primarily periostitis and abscess, but with- 
out symptoms of necrosis, and on probing no sequestrum was found. The 
swelling of the finger increased during six months until the bone was almost 
globular. At the end of this period, under a prolonged course of Silicea, 
the bone became much smaller. At the end of a second six months, an 
abscess again formed, was opened, and a probe passed into a soft mass. The 
finger again greatly improved, and became smaller under a course of Hepar 
and Silicea. Byres Moir and Epps had both frequently had similar cases 
of strumous dactylitis, in which complete recovery had taken place under 
Silicea, Calcarea and Calc.fluor. 

"Calcarea fluorica in lumps and chronic hard swellings in the female 
breasts." 

I know whereof I speak when I state that these swellings can be easily 
handled with this remedy. 

Mrs. C, age 52, came to me badly alarmed because a leading surgeon had 
said that she had a cancer of the breast, and must have it cut out immediately. 
After a careful examination of the breast, and taking her history, I said to 
her, I believe I could remove the hard lump with medicine. After a few 
moments thought she said, " Go to work on it." I made a 4 oz. solution of 
the remedy by putting 4 oz. of the 3X tablets into 4 oz. of soft water, and 
told her to keep the swelling wet most of the time with it, which she did. 
Internally I gave her 3 cones of the 3X every three hours, and had her report 
in one week. The one week's treatment had reduced the lump one-fourth, 
and she now fully believes that she is going to recover, which she did in six 
weeks' treatment. 

Case 2. — A lady friend of the above, 42 years of age, presented herself for 
treatment for a hard lump that had been growing in her right breast for 
three or four years. It was painful, and she was unable to use her arm for 
any length of time without the whole organ becoming sensitive and painful 
so as to prevent her from sleeping. She was a dyspeptic, and after correct- 
ing this trouble she received the same treatment as the above, and fully 
recovered in three months. 

This remedy has never failed me in hard swelling of the jaw caused by 
toothache or injury, and for chaps and cracks of the lips. I used it in one 
case of rapid decay of the teeth, where the enamel scaled off, and obtained 
very good results. (O. A. Palmer, M. D.) 



TYPHOID FEVER. 307 

TYPHOID FEVER. 

Ferrum phos. — Typhoid or gastric fever when commenc- 
ing ; initiatory stage for chilliness. Typhoid, with extreme 
prostration ; frequent hemorrhage, indicating disorganization 
of the blood. 

Kali mur. — Typhoid or gastric fevers, for gray or white- 
coated tongue and looseness of the bowels, with light-yellow, 
ochre-colored stools or flocculent evacuations, and for abdomi- 
nal tenderness and swelling. 

Kali phos. — Typhoid or malignant symptoms, when affect- 
ing the brain, causing stupor during the course of the disease, 
or with symptoms of putrid blood. Debility, weak action of 
'the heart, sleeplessness, offensive breath, putrid odor of stools, 
stupor. Sordes on the teeth. An excellent remedy in ex- 
treme vitiation of the blood, when the system seems full of 
typhoid poison and the disease is not located in any single 
organ. Offensiveness of discharges is a very marked symp- 
tom for Kali phos. 

Kali sulph. — Typhoid or gastric fever, with a rise of tem- 
perature at night and a fall in the morning. 

Watrum mur. — Typhoid or malignant conditions during 
the course of any fever, such as twitchings with great drowsi- 
ness, watery vomiting, sopor, parched tongue, etc. 

Calcarea phos. — After typhoid or gastric fevers as the dis- 
ease declines. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Typhoid fever in young gentleman with a very active brain; a prominent 
symptom was that he became very hysterical, would cry like a child and 
sob whenever he became nervous. Ignatia, Hyos., Stram. and Coffea, all 
failed to relieve. Kali phos. cured this symptom, and he received no other 
remedy throughout the fever. After the patient got up, the remedy seemed 
to act as a tonic. (Monroe. ) 

The following from the pen of Dr. A. P. Davis, of Dallas, Texas, appeared 
in the Southern Journal of Homoeopathy, and is of interest, since it illus- 
trates the value of these remedies in this disease: 

"The most rational course to pursue is to supply deficiencies, and to assist 
nature remove excesses. There is depression, perceptible in all cases of 
typhoid fever; and as this depression is the result of molecular change, the 



308 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

molecules of several elements must receive our special attention. Whether 
this molecular change can be brought about by the use of Baptis., Rhus 
tox., Bryon., Phos. ac, China, Cimicif., Ferrum phos., Natrum mur. or 
Natrum phos., or what not, is the question that demands special attention. 
Some have claimed success by the use of Baptis. tinct., others by Rhus tox., 
as their sheet anchor, giving incidental treatment as they thought symptoms 
called for, and some success has followed this method of procedure. It is a 
conceded fact that the inflammation in the glands of Brunner and Peyer 
keep up the fever, and the reined} 7 that cures these glands cuts short the 
disease, and the remedies that I have found to do this most certainly are 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur., given in alternation every hour during fever, 
where there is a white or grayish coating on the tongue. The Ferrum is 
the best fever remedy, and the Kali mur. the best eliminator in such condi- 
tions. If the tongue should become brown, give Kali phos., and especially 
in those cases where the patient is delirious or nervous, and in the more 
malignant form of the disease. If the tongne assumes a yellow, shiny coat- 
ing, then resort to Magnesia phos., and especially when there are pain in 
the bowels and a sensation of pressure in the stomach. If the tongue has a 
golden-yellow coating, creamy, moist, give Natrum phos. Should the 
tongue have a dirty brownish-green coating, give Natrum sulph. These 
remedies are especially indicated in this condition of the tongue. Last of 
all, when the patient begins to convalesce, finish up the treatment with Cal- 
carea phos., as a connective tissue and blood-cell constituent is needed. In 
all cases where these tissue remedies have been used by me, they have proved 
abundantly sufficient, and will cure, if given as indicated. They supply the 
inorganic elements that are disturbed or lacking in all diseased states, and if 
a strict observance is had in their selection, the physician will certainly cure 
any diseases that can be cured at all. I usually give them the 4x to 6x 
potency, and while many may consider me dogmatic in the use of these 
remedies, I can see no reason as yet to change off into the intricate mazes of 
supposed pathogenetic provings of polypharmacy. While I still use many 
polychrests, I lend a decided preference to the proper use of the Tissue 
Remedies where indicated." 

Miss Nettie W., set. 23. Was called in consultation, found the patient 
apparently in last stage of the disease, with the symptoms usual in such 
cases. As other remedies had been tried and she seemed sinking, I advised 
Kali phos. 6 , in solution. Under the use of this remedy she rallied, and it 
was continued some days, with the result that she ultimately recovered. 

Another similar case was given the same remedy when others seemed of 
no avail, with the same good result of producing a change for the better 
within a few hours, followed by recovery. (C. T. M.) 

TYPHUS FEVER. 

Ferrum phos. — The first stage in alternation with Kali 
phos. 

Kali mur. — For constipation, stools light-colored. 



TYPHLITIS. 309 

Kali phos. — Malignant fever, putrid fever, camp fever, ner- 
vous or brain fever, farm fever. The chief remedy for brown 
tongne, petechiae, sleeplessness, abnormal brain function, 
stupor, delirium. 

Natrum mur. — Typhus fever when the stupor and sleep- 
lessness are very great. 

Natrum phos. — Golden-yellow coating of tongue ; creamy, 
moist. 

TYPHLITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — Fever, inflammation, high temperature and 
pulse, also for the pain. 

Kali mur. — Swelling and exudation, hardness, etc. 

Kali sulph. — To aid the absorption of any secretions and to 
lessen tendency to inflammatory conditions in abdomen; colicky 
pains from the excessive secretions which are not carried off 
and keep filling up around the appendix. (F. D. B.) 

Silicea. — Formation of pus, abscess, etc. 

Calcarea sulph. — Relieves the pain in right side of pelvis, 
tends to counteract and cure the ulceration if any in the in- 
testines and prevents disintegration of those tissues, tones up 
the weakness, removes distention, etc. (F. D. B.) Abscess, 
yellow, sanious matter. 

Natrum sulph. — Flatulent colic, beginning in the region 
of the right groin, a characteristic symptom. Tenderness and 
distention with tendency to perforation. Torpidity of bowels 
and general bilious conditions sometimes superinduce or pre- 
dispose to this trouble. (F. D. Bittinger, M. D.) " Dull pain 
in right ileo-caecal region. Shifting flatus. Tenderness to 
pressure and coated tongue." (J. W. Ward, M. D.) Vomiting, 
which is persistent. 

CLINICAL CASES 

The following case, furnished by Dr. I. E. Nicholson, of Oakland, Cali- 
fornia, is so beautifully illustrative of the action of these remedies in typh- 
litis, that it is reported in full as furnished by the Doctor: 

"I was called on the morning of April 14th, 1887, to attend to Mr. E. K., 



310 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

a young man, set. 22, with hereditary tendency to phthisis pulmonalis, who 
resides in Connecticut, and was sojourning in our city for the benefit of his 
health, and found him suffering with agonizing pain in the right iliac region. 
He had been attacked suddenly at 2 o'clock a. m. with this pain, and had 
vomited several times before I saw him. Upon examination I found a tumor 
in the right iliac fossa, so tender to the touch that he could not bear even 
the weight of the bed clothing. His bowels had moved twice within a few 
hours. I learned that he had eaten of a mince pie at dinner the day before, 
and had passed a quantity of currant seeds in one of his movements. There 
could be no doubt as to the diagnosis— typhlitis — and that a currant seed 
was the casus mali. His temperature was 103 F., and pulse 120. For sev- 
eral inches around the tumor the belly was as hard as a rock, showing a 
great amount of infiltration. I at once gave him Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. 
(6x trit. ) to be taken every half hour in alternation, day and night; poultices 
of flaxseed were kept constantly applied, as hot as could be borne, to alle- 
viate the pain. At the end of thirty -six hours his temperature had fallen 
to 100 F., and pulse to 90. This treatment was continued without intermis- 
sion, and the inflammatory symptom steadily improved and the size of the 
tumor gradually lessened. At the end of a week the temperature and pulse 
became normal, the tumor had entirely disappeared, the belly was soft and 
a mere trace of the tenderness remained. He took no other medicines. 
The result in this case is, I think, phenomenal, since in this class of cases 
the prognosis is always unfavorable, and the credit of the case can be clearly 
given to the Iron and the Potash, the one removing the inflammation, the 
other causing the absorption of the infiltration, thus bringing about reso- 
lution and aborting perityphlitis and the consequent suppuration. Dr. 
Burdick, of Oakland, and Dr. Brigham, of San Francisco, were both called 
in consultation, and both agreed with me as to the disease, and both ac- 
quiesced in the treatment. We have no medicine which is the peer of 
Ferrum phos. as a fever remedy, whether idiopathic or symptomatic, and 
none better than Kali mur. to cause the absorption of infiltrations." 

Calcarea fliwr. 3X rapidly absorbed an indurated and sensitive tumor, 
extending from the caecum to the lower border of the liver 



ULCERS AND ULCERATIONS. 

Ferrum phos. — Ulcerations of glands, to relieve the throb- 
bing pain, soreness, redness, heat and congested condition. 
Ulcers if there be fever, or heat, or redness and congestion. 

Kali mur. — Ulcers with fibrinous discharge. Ulceration of 
the os and cervix uteri, with thick, white, mild secretions ; all 
ulcerations where there is swelling or a dirty-white tongue, or 
a mealy, flour-like scaly surface, or a fibrinous discharge; proud 
flesh, exuberant granulations. Ulceration of cornea. (See 
Bye, Diseases of.) 



ULCERS AND ULCERATIONS. 311 

Kali sulph. — Tuberculous ulcers, with a continuous oozing 
of yellowish pus and lymph, will often yield to this remedy. 

Natrum phos. — Ulceration of the stomach or bowels. 
Syphilitic ulcers, yellow coating having appearance of half- 
dried cream. 

Silicea. — Ulcers of the lower limbs when deep-seated and 
the periosteum is affected. Silicea has ulcers that are spongy, 
readily bleeding, with torpid, callous edges, fistulous ulcers, 
secreting a thin, fetid, ichorous, yellow fluid. Sluggish ulcers, 
in hard-worked and ill-fed people. Ulceration following abra- 
sion of the skin over the shin-bone. Use also locally, or in- 
fusion of hay, which contains Silicea. Suppurative processes, 
massive and repeated doses in scrofulous, glandular swellings 
with suppuration. 

Calcarea phos. — Ulceration of bone substance, as an inter- 
current. 

Calcarea sulph. — Ulceration of the glands. Ulcers open. 
Purulent sores which may result from abrasions, pimples, 
wounds, burns, scalds or bruises. Ulcers of the lower limbs, 
with a discharge of yellow, sanious matter. 

Calcarea fluor. — Ulcerations of bones. Varicose ulcers. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

A girl came into my office, who had sores on both legs, running a thin, 
ichorous secretion, red, angry and painful, which had been bothering her 
for four years, breaking out, then scabbing over, partially healing, then 
taking on inflammation, so that sleep was disturbed; locomotion produced 
severe pains, in fact, the sores were seemingly very severe. I at once gave 
her Silicea 6x and Calcarea phos. 6x, three doses each per day, bound up 
the limbs with flannel roller bandage, and in four weeks all the sores 
were healed up and the patient well, cheerful and happy. (A. P. Davis, 
M. D. ) 

A. S., set. 16, for three years had indolent ulcers on lower half of left leg, 
which is red, very much swollen. Three fistulous ulcers secreting a thick, 
yellow pus and which have thrown off many splinters of bone. Pains prin- 
cipally at night. Emaciation, poor appetite. Frequent cough in morning, 
with thick, yellow expectoration, and considerable weakness in morning. 
Lungs normal. Calcarea fluor. 6x, morning and evening, for eight days, 
alternating with intervals of four days without medicine. Cured in five 
months. Externally only glycerine. No enlargement of the limb was 
noticeable after six months. (Dr. Hansen, Allg. Med. Zeit.) 



312 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

In treating a chronic syphilitic ulcer, I observed a yellow coating on the 
surface of the ulcer, which had the appearance of half-dried cream. After 
Natrum phos. the coating disappeared within four days and the patient was 
otherwise much improved. (C. Hg. ) 

URINARY DISORDERS. 

Ferrum phos. — Incontinence of urine, if from weakness of 
the sphincter muscle. Wetting of the bed, especially in chil- 
dren. Enuresis nocturna, from weakness of the muscles, often 
seen in women, when every cough causes the urine to spurt. 
Cystitis, first stage, with pain, heat or feverishness. Suppres- 
sion of the urine with heat. Excessive secretion of urine. 
Polyuria simplex. " Irresistible urging to urinate in the day- 
time, aggravated by standing and accompanied by pain along 
the urethra and neck of the bladder. Retention of urine with 
fever in little children, as well as involuntary spurting of 
urine with every cough." (M. Deschere, M. D.) Some va- 
rieties of red wine will cure nocturnal enuresis in children, 
owing to the iron contained therein. Dose night and morning. 
Diurnal enuresis depending on irritation of neck of the blad- 
der and end of penis. 

Kali mur. — Cystitis, second stage, when swelling has set in 
(interstitial exudation), and discharge of thick, white mucus. 
The principal remedy in chronic cystitis. Urine dark-colored, 
deposit of iiric acid, where there exist torpor and inactivity of 
the liver. 

Kali phos. — Cystitis in asthenic conditions with prostration. 
Frequent urination, or passing large quantities of water. Fre- 
quent scalding ; nervous weakness. Incontinence of urine 
from nervous debility, bleeding from the urethra. Paralysis, 
affecting the sphincter muscle, causing inability to retain the 
urine. Enuresis in older children. Urine quite yellow. 
Itching in urethra. Cutting pain in bladder and urethra. 

Magnesia phos. — Constant urging to urinate whenever the 
person is standing or walking. Spasmodic retention of the 
urine. Gravel. Pain after the use of the catheter, a sensa- 
tion as if the muscles did not contract. Child passes large 
quantities of urine. 



URINARY DISORDERS. 313 

Natrum phos. — Incontinence of urine in children with 
acidity. Polyuria. Urine dark-red, with arthritis. Fre- 
quent micturition. Diabetes. Atony of the bladder. Gravel. 
Schiissler in his last edition claims that this is the chief 
remedy in catarrh of the bladder. 

Natrum sulph. — Sandy deposit or sediment in the urine, 
gravel, lithic deposits, brickdust-like coloring matter in the 
water, associated with gout. Polyuria simplex, excessive 
secretion if diabetic. Urine loaded with bile. Wetting of 
the bed at night, or retention of urine. 

Silicea.— Urine loaded with pus and mucus. Red sandy 
deposit of uric acid. Enuresis from worms and in chorea. 
Must get up at night to urinate. 

Calcarea sulph. — Inflammation of the bladder, in chronic 
stage, pus forming. Red urine with hectic fever. Nephritis 
scarlatinosa. (S. Lilienthal.) 

Calcarea phos. — Urine copious. Enuresis, wetting the bed

scanty and high colored, and emits a pungent odor. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. S. B. Dickerman, of Abington, Mass., reports a case of enuresis cured 
with Ferritin phos. 200th. The enuresis occurred in the daytime; he seldom 
wet the bed at night. The guiding symptoms emphasize its use in diurnal 
enuresis. 

Case of incontinence of urine due to loss of muscular power, cured by 
Ferrum phos.— Transactions American Institute, 1882, p. 181. 

Dr. Schiissler, in a private communication to Dr. Zoeppritz, mentions the 
case of a lad to whom he had given, without effect, Ferrum phos. for enu- 
resis. A pustular eruption near the corners of the mouth appeared, for 



314 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

which he prescribed Natnim ntur., which cured both the eruption and the 
enuresis. 

Dr Cornelius Oldenburg reports a case of spasmodic retention of the 
urine. No urine was at first excreted; even the catheter failed to bring any 
away. Magnesia phos. was given, which relieved somewhat; some urine 
was passed. In five days, no permanent or decided results being obtained 
from this remedy, Schiissler's advice was followed, and accordingly Cal- 
carea phos. was given, which cured in one day. Some two mouths later 
another attack came on, which was likewise immediately cured hy Calcarea 
phos., for on the following day the patient was well. All. Horn. Zeit., 1885, 
p. 70. 

Dr. Criiwell reports on incontinence of urine: When I became acquainted 
with Dr. Schiissler's preparations I was very anxious to test the effects of 
Kali phos., as Dr. Schiissler recommends this against paralysis and paralytic 
conditions. Whoever has been occupied with the study of psychology is 
naturally ready to suspect paralysis everywhere. I acknowledge I may 
have given Kali phos. too frequently, as I was desirous to find out what it 
could do. For various reasons it led me to give it for incontinency. I gave 
it three or four times daily in a little water. In five cases, two of which I 
treated without good results, Kali phos. brought about amazingly rapid im- 
provement. With a young girl, aet. 7, I had until lately to repeat the rem- 
edy every time it was given up, as the incontinency always returned when 
it was discontinued. The most successful case was that of an old gentle- 
man, aet. 60. No doubt in this case there existed a sub-paralytic condition 
of the sphincter muscle. Some months after treatment he called back to 
say that he was perfectly cured, but desired to have some of the powders, 
simply by way of precaution. (From Schiissler.) 

Lad. set. 10, after homoeopathic treatment had been unsuccessful, suffered 
with enuresis, urine pale, watery and very profuse. Ferrum phos. 6x, a 
powder in hot water three times daily, cured. (C. W. Hakes, M. D.) 

Incontinence of Urine. — Lady, aet. 35, had had trouble for three years, 
and could assign no cause thereto; was able to retain the urine at night but 
not in daytime, when she passed large quantities of water involuntarily. 
General health good. Ferrum phos. 3X, four times a day. A week later 
she reported that she could now retain the urine much better during the 
day. The medicine was continued for three weeks longer, when she in- 
formed me that the power over the bladder was now complete, and that she 
was better than she had been for two years. Nine months afterwards the 
patient came to me again with a return of the malady; and, although she 
was then enciente, Ferrum phos. again completely stopped the incontinence.

VACCINATION. 

Should any bad results show themselves Kali mur. will 
give entire satisfaction. (Schiissler.) If necessary follow with 
Silicea. 



VEINS, DISEASES OF. 315 

VEINS, DISEASES OF. 

Calcarea fluor. — Varicose veins, varicose ulceration of the 
veins (as a lotion also). Sharp piercing pains, patients can 
not be on their feet. The chief remedy for varicose veins. 
Dr. Porter recommends this remedy in varicose veins about 
the vulva, and in distention of the ovarian and sub-ovarian 
plexus of veins. Differentiating Silicea from Calcarea fluor., 
he finds that the latter medicine has a greater affinity for 
muscular tissue, and has relief from cold, while Silicea is 
worse from cold. He quotes several symptoms from Farring- 
ton, indicating the fluoride of lime in affections of the lower 
tissues. Little vesicles form around scars ; lacerations of the 
cervix, with a considerable amount of scar-tissue. 

Ferrum phos. — Varicocele with pain in testicles. This is a 
powerful vein remedy, though its action on the arteries is its 
prime sphere. It has cured a small aneurism and the great 
indication for it is throbbing. Varicose veins in young per- 
sons. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Young man, aet. 18, complained of daily pain in left testicle, incapacitat- 
ing hiin for work. Examination showed a varicocele, well developed, prob- 
ably caused by constant heavy lifting. After five weeks' use of Ferrum 
phos., daily one dose, cured. (Dr. Mayer, Stuttgart. ) 

A physician of Bogota, S. A., relates a case of varicose ulcers of some 
standing, both on legs and arms. Calc. fluor. 6x was given night and morn- 
ing. Healed in fifteen days. 

VERTIGO. 

Ferrum phos. — Giddiness from rush of blood to the head, 
with flushing, throbbing or pressing pain. 

Kali phos. — Dizziness, swimming of the head, when from 
cerebral or nervous causes, and weakness, not gastric. Vertigo 
from anaemia. Vertigo, worse rising and looking up. 

Kali sulph. — Vertigo, especially on looking up and rising. 

Natrum sulph. — Giddiness, with bilious coating on the 



316 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

tongue, or bitter taste in the mouth ; gastric derangement ; 
excess of bile. Vertigo with inclination to fall on the right 
side. 

Natrum phos. — Giddiness with gastric derangements, 
acidity and want of appetite, gold-colored, creamy coating on 
the tongue. 

Magnesia phos. — Vertigo from optical defects. 

CLINICAL. CASES. 

Dr. E. B. Rankiu, of Washington, D. C, reports in the Southern Journal 
of Homoeopathy, April, 1886, a case of vertigo of several weeks' standing, 
accompanied by vomiting of acid substances cured by Natrum phos. in one 
week. 

I have made but little use, as yet, of Dr. Schiissler's Kali phos., but have, 
notwithstanding, effected a few very interesting cures. 

A woman, set. 64, came under my treatment, who had been for many years 
treated without success. She had taken steel baths, a great many steel-pills 
and drops and quinine. She complained of a severe vertigo, felt mostly 011 
rising from a sitting position, and on looking upward. She was constantly 
in dread of falling, and did not venture to leave her room. I gave her all 
the usual remedies without any benefit. At last I gave her, in May, 1875, 
two doses daily of Dr. Schiissler's Kali phos. I had the pleasure of seeing 
a rapid and decided cure following this. The patient can attend to her do- 
mestic duties; she can go out alone, even to distances, and is almost com- 
pletely cured of her painful sensation of giddiness. (From Schiissler. ) 



VOMITING. 

Silicea. — Child vomits as soon as it nurses. Vomiting in 
morning with chilliness. 

Ferrum phos. — Vomiting of blood, bright-red blood, with 
tendency to form a gelatinous mass. Vomiting of the food 
with sour fluids ; vomiting of food, the food returning undi- 
gested, sooner or later, after taking it. 

Kali phos. — Nausea and vomiting of sour, bitter food and of 
blood. 

Kali mur. — Vomiting of blood, dark, clotted, viscid. Vom- 
iting of thick, white phlegm. 

Natrum mur. — Vomiting of acid, sour fluid, not food. 
Vomiting of curdled masses and acid fluids. Dark substance 



VOMITING.

like coffee-grounds. Vomiting of watery, stringy, transparent 
mucus. 

Natrum phos. — Vomiting of sour, fluid, curdy masses with 
yellow, creamy coating of tongue. 

Natrum sulph. — Bilious vomiting, morning sickness and 
bitter taste in the mouth. Vomiting of greenish matter. 
Constant nausea. 

Calcarea fluor. — Vomiting of undigested food, if Ferrum 
phos. does not suffice. Vomiting during dentition. 

Calcarea phos. — Vomiting after cold water and ice-cream. 
Infants vomit often and easily and want to nurse all the time. 
Vomiting with teething troubles. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

W. J. Martin, M. D., in the Transactions Pcnna. Horn. Med. Society, 1886, 
reports a case of persistent vomiting, accompanied by pain in the abdomen, 
cured by Mag ties, phos. 12 after the ordinary homoeopathic remedies had 
failed. 

A young girl about 18 consulted me (so writes a student of medicine) for 
painless vomiting, which had existed for a long time, and occurred after 
almost every meal. The color of her face and the visible mucous membranes 
were pale. Menstruation was scanty and delayed. No other symptoms of 
importance; pregnancy was not present. I ordered Ferrum phos. 6x. After 
a time I accidentally saw the patient again, and received the pleasing news 
that the vomiting had entirely disappeared from the commencement of the 
use of the remedy. {Monatsblaetter.) 

1. F. R., fifty years old. Had suffered for eight months from weight in 
stomach about an hour after each meal, with nausea, sometimes vomiting 
and much accumulation of water in the mouth. Pulsatilla had been given 
with little or no result, also Natrum and Nux vomica. His condition be- 
came worse. Vomiting of food set in after each meal some three or four 
hours. Ferrum phos, third every hour. This relieved the condition at 
once. 

2. H., eleven years old. Weakly and of slim build, suffered for a long 
time from vomiting of food, stitches in the side and palpitation of the heart. 
Closer examination showed his liver, heart and kidneys to be healthy. 
Ferrum phos. cured in four days. 

3. L. S., twenty-four years. Medium height, pale, poorly-nourished as- 
pect, had for several weeks vomiting of food immediately after eating. 
Patient is weak and sleepy in day-time. Ferrum phos. in a few days mark- 
edly improved the condition; the vomiting disappeared and the other con- 
ditions were beneficially influenced. 

4. E. E., forty-two years. Sickly build and delicate; four years ago had 
a gastritis and was cured by Homoeopathy. Since that time, however, has 



318 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

had a weakness of the digestive organs which troubles him from time to 
time. Six weeks ago a marked aggravation set in. Feeling of fullness in 
the epigastrium, many eructations, vomiting, rush of blood to the head and 
cold feet. Examination showed the region of the stomach to be swollen 
and sensitive; liver, kidneys, heart, etc., healthy. Ferrum phos. 3x, every 
hour. In three days the patient was all right, vomiting had entirely ceased 
and the remaining symptoms had lessened markedly. 

5. E. B., thirty-five years. Suffered for several weeks from stomach dis- 
order, with pressure, vomiting of food immediately after each meal; often 
redness of the face. Vomiting ceased after twelve hours' use of Ferrum 
phos., and never returned. 

6. L. R., thirty years. Scrawny and anaemic; suffered from stomach dis- 
orders for years. These for the past eight weeks have been much worse. 
There is present vomiting of food and patient feels in consequence thereof 
weak and exhausted. On the twenty-sixth of October she received Ferrum 
phos. Four days later her condition was improved; vomiting occurred less 
often and the case progressed to complete recovery. 

7. F. A. For fourteen days had suffered from vomiting of food after each 
meal. In twenty-four hours Ferrum phos. cured the vomiting, which did 
not return.

expectoration. 

Magnesia phos. — Whooping cough, beginning as a com- 



WHOOPING COUGH. 319 

mon cold, convulsive fits of nervous cough, ending in a 
whoop. Give this remedy steadily. 

Calcarea phos. — Whooping cough in weakly constitutions, 
or in teething children, and in obstinate cases with emacia- 
tion. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

My experience in the treatment of whooping-cough, while not extended, 
has been quite satisfactory to me especially since adopting the biochemic 
treatment of Schiissler. Under this treatment the cough may be modified, 
the paroxysms lessened in severity and frequency, and the duration of the 
disease very materially shortened. 

The treatment is substantially as follows: In the earlier stages of the dis- 
ease Ferrum phos. is given for the febrile symptoms, alternated with Kali 
mnr. for the fibrinous expectoration. If the disease has reached that stage 
when the cough has become spasmodic in character, ending in the charac- 
teristic whoop of nervous origin, then Magnesia phos. is the remedy par 
excellence, and as this stage is usually reached before the doctor's services 
are sought this remedy will form the basis of treatment in nine-tenths of all 
cases. Indeed, a vial of this remedy with directions to give a quantity the 
size of a pea in hot water every four hours regularly, and repeated whenever 
a paroxysm of coughing comes on, quite frequently constitutes the whole 
treatment. 

In severe cases other remedies are used according to indications, the char- 
acter of the expectoration guiding in the selection of the remedy. Calcarea 
phos. is often used in winding up the treatment as a general restorative, or 
when the lime salts seem to be deficient. 

I usually use the 6x potency of these remedies, though sometimes a lower 
is demanded. I have never used the higher potencies. 

The dose will be equal to that recommended above for Magnesia phos. 
Very often, indeed, generally, I add the required quantity to water in a 
tumbler, and give a teaspoonful of the solution at a dose. ( Dr. B. F. Beane, 
Eldorado, O.) 

Dr. J. T. Frawley, of Cleveland, Ohio, reports a case of whooping cough, 
which had developed a high temperature and symptoms showing that pneu- 
monia was developing, cured with Kali inur. 3X in hot water, its action was 
prompt in allaying the acute symptoms. 

Child, set. 18 months, in the last stage of whooping cough, with blistered 
lips and mouth; black, thin, offensive stools five times a day; hard and 
tympanitic abdomen; wasted to a shadow and given up to die by parents 
and physicians, got completely well from Kali sulph. (C. B. Knerr, M. D.) 

Case in which Kali sulph. was given for whooping cough, which imme- 
diately improved. The second day after taking the medicine he complained 
of stiff neck. The head is inclined toward the left, and the left shoulder 
raised. Great pain on moving head from side to side, or backward, but can 
move it forward without pain. This continued seven days. (W. P. Wes- 
selhceft, M. D.) 



320 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Magnes. phos. for Whooping Cough. — In the spring of 1881, when 
there was an epidemic of whooping cough amongst the children here, a 
little child, set. 10 months, was given up by the family doctor. I heard this 
from the father of the child, who was in great grief. He mentioned that 
the spasms, which occurred about ten times in the course of the day, were so 
severe that the little face became quite livid, blue and swollen. I at once 
gave Magnes. phos. One single powder moderated the spasms so forcibly 
that they returned only occasionally, and the attacks were quite mild. Five 
days later I gave some Kali phos., but without beneficial effect, then Cal- 
carea phos., and it had no good effect, as the paroxysms grew only worse for 
want of Magnes. phos. I ordered it to be taken again, and in a very short 
time the spasms and whoop were gone, and the child recovered rapidly.

periods, with flushed face and quick pulse, with vomiting of 
undigested food, sometimes acid taste. 

Menstrual. — Excessive congestion, blood bright-red. 
This remedy must be taken as a preventive before the periods 
if these symptoms are recurrent. It prevents menorrhagia in 
those predisposed thereto. 

Morning Sickness. — In pregnancy, with vomiting of food 
as taken, with or without acid taste, the food returns un- 
digested. 

Metritis. — First stage to remove the fever, pain and con- 
gestion. 

Vaginitis. — Inflammation of the vagina, vaginismus, pain 
in the vagina from coition. Excessive dryness and sensitive- 
ness, spasms of vagina. 

Kali mur. — Menstruation. — The monthly periods are too 
late or suppressed, checked, white tongue, etc. Too early 
menses. Excessive discharge, dark, clotted or tough, black, 
like tar. If periods last too long, too frequent.

in ordinary cases. Painful menstruation or pain preceding the 
flow. Vaginismus. Pains radiate from spine, relieved by 
warm clothing and pressure, aggravated by cold. Membranous

chronic pelvic cellulitis, where the patient had been bed-ridden for nine 
years, cured with Kali mur. 3X. Improvement began at once and she 
gained 35 lbs. 

E. S. Bailey, M. D., reports a case of menorrhagia cured by Ferrum phos. 
3x. The case presented a history of profuse menstruation, the flow was de-

Doctor Phil. Porter reports a case of papillomatous erosion of the cervix 
with Calc. fluor. 6x, in which the local symptoms were accompanied by a 
dyscrasic condition, enlarged cervical glands, emaciation and weakness. 
His prescription was based upon the constitutional changes, the local con- 
ditions (the fissured appearance of the cervix), and an abundant yellowish 
leucorrhcea. — Hahnemannian Monthly. 

Case of dysmenorrhcea with neuroses, presenting recurring neurotic out- 
bursts, painful and intense. Intense suffering during menses, headache, 
etc., had had nearly every homoeopathic remedy, with no permanent relief. 
Kaliphos. 6x cured. (D. B. Whittier, M. D., Trans. Mass. State Horn. Med. 
Society, 1886. ) 

A lady called to see me just after a severe hemorrhage from the womb — 
in fact, every time she menstruated she almost flooded to death. Upon 
examination I found the uterus hard aud so large that it completely filled 
the vagina; this had doubtless been coming on for six years, since the 
birth of her child, as she complained of an increasing weight in that region 
all the time. I at once began to give her Calcarea fluor., a dose every 
four hours. This reduced the induration in four to six weeks to its natural 
size, and five years have passed and no return of the trouble. (A. P. Davis, 
M. D.) 

Mrs. W., two weeks pregnant, had been vomiting nearly everything that 
she had eaten for these two weeks. Only food was vomited, and that soon 
after eating. Gave Ferrum phos. I2x four times a day, a small powder dry. 
What I wish to say of this case is this: Mrs. W. has had four children, and 
with every one had commenced vomiting almost at the moment of concep- 
tion, and would continue all through pregnancy. The last four or five 
months of the time she would have to remain in bed, being so weak that 
she could not get about. She commenced the same way this time, but 
after giving the Ferrum phos. a few days the vomiting was very much con- 
trolled, and in a month had ceased entirely, and she went to term in 
splendid condition. While we cannot absolutely say that she would have 
been the same as at other times, yet it is natural to suppose that she would 
have. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

Mrs. E , set. 38, suffered for many years from chronic peritonitis and 
ovaritis. She would have subacute attacks, which would last for several 
months, confining her to her bed or room; hardly would she be well of one 
attack before another would be induced by a cold or some slight over- 
exertion. Was nervous and much depressed. One evening was seized with 
very severe pain in the uterine and left ovarian regions, extending over the 
whole abdomen, which was very sensitive to the slightest touch. Pulse, 
120. temperature, 104. Ferrum phos. i2x and Kali phos. I2x were given 
in water every fifteen minutes, in alternation for two hours, when the pains 
were somewhat less. The remedies were then given every hour for several

days, uutil all pain and sensitiveness had gone. The patient was kept under 
treatment for two weeks longer, when she was obliged to go away. She 
gradually grew stronger and better, and now two years have passed, and she 
has never had the slightest sign of the trouble, which she had had for so 
many years, and is well and strong. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

Miss B., aet. 20, had been stiff ering for the past two years with severe ova- 
ralgia at the menstrual period. She had been under the treatment of several 
physicians and the only relief that they were able to give her was by the 
use of Morphine, that being only temporary. We called late one night to 
see her and found her suffering with severe pain in the left ovary, of a dull, 
dragging character, and but slightly intermittent. Patient, hysterical and 
very excitable. Gave her Kali phos. 6x, in water every ten minutes, for 
half an hour, when patient went to sleep, not awaking until morning, 
when she was free from pain. Gave her Kali phos. 6x, night and morning, 
for a month; at the next menstrual period was again called and found her 
suffering much as before. Gave Kali phos. i2x every ten minutes and after 
two doses was relieved. Gave Kali phos. i2x, o)ice a day for a month, and 
now, after eighteen months, has had no more pain, and is feeling better in 
every way. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

Lady about 40, anteflexion of uterus with very peculiar nervous condition. 
Very solicitous about health, weak, exhausted with slight effort. Irritable 
and easily displeased, which was unnatural to her. Had suffered many an- 
noyances. Hypersemia of the brain and hyperesthesia, which condition 
made her utterly miserable most of the time. Kali phos. entirely cured. 
(Sarah N. Smith, New York.) 

WORMS. 

Ferrum phos. — Intestinal worms, predisposition to passing 
undigested food. Thread-worms. 

Kali mur. — Small white thread-worms, causing itching at 
the anus ; white tongue, give Natrum phos. in alternation. 

Calcarea fluor. — Intestinal, long, round, or thread-worms 
with characteristic symptoms of acidity, or picking of the 
nose, occasional squinting. Pain in the bowels, restless sleep. 
Itching of the anus, especially at night in bed, face white 
about the mouth or nose. Grinding of the teeth in children. 
Pin-worms. This remedy probably acts by destroying the ex- 
cess of lactic acid which seems to be necessary for the life of 
these worms. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Natr. phos. a Worm Remedy. — Dr. Schiissler recommends this drug as 
efficient in verminous affections. Dr. A. C. Kimball, of Barteville Station, 



326 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Neb., reports a case in his practice with the following results: The patient, 
a boy aged five years, had spasms and had been treated b}' several physi- 
cians without benefit. After using Natr. phos? for six weeks, three times a 
day, he passed four feet three inches of tapeworm, much to the astonish- 
ment of all interested. This is the first recorded case of Natr. phos. pro- 
ducing such a result. It is believed that the entire worm was passed, there 
being no evidence of any remaining. Natr. phos. is especially efficient in 
cases of pinworms. 

YELLOW FEVER. 

Natrum sulph. — If it assumes the form of a severe bilious 
remittent fever, and there is excess of bile. Vomit greenish, 
yellow-brown or black. 

Ferrum phos. — For the fever in alternation with the pre- 
ceding. At the beginning of the attack. 

Kali phos. — For collapse and depressed vital forces. Also 
for deep green, bluish or black vomit and hemorrhages.
